Valentines & Online

Out of the blue an e-mail falls
from a person unknown who liked 
the words placed in profile
-
for weeks progress, 
the darkness on her soul reaching out 
to the gray on mine
-
first phone call, sudden knowledge
that this is the one, life mate 
shadowing clues of joys end
-
her life not one to be envied and mine the same, 
neither of her parents treasures and only one of mine 
mine together and hers apart
-
distance between us too much to bear 
seldom we meet, but often call 
impermanent online and phones
-
passionnant caresses stolen 
along with furtive kiss 
cautious with reason
-
long absences slowly aren't enough for her to suffer 
and my devotion cloying, she looks to find 
one who will treat her as needed
-
Nigh on two years in, 
looking at soon things to go right 
she sends me crashing down
-
expecting me not to care, for why should i when she didn't, 
painful distance and shattered hopes make 
slow drains on my soul, shattered
-
Red-raven hair, and cat green eyes 
shadowed soul and pained desires 
chaos in human form 5' 6"
-
inconstant friend on IM, lovers woes 
often teasing with lying chances, when 
she toys with her new victim
-
heart yearning for her taste on my lips, 
warmth in my arms, children in my home 
happiness to happiness joined
-
and her sure she deserves no happiness 
only reluctant death that has yet to take 
her home as the shadows call.
