Years

Years Years have you journeyed in search of a spark Stumbled and bloodied feeling your way in the dark Chance upon pleasure for once unaccompanied by pain Not something to toss and forget cause it may not be back again Cry on your pillow as you deliberate crushing your dreams Don’t settle for teardrops and soothe them by posting memes Something inside you is telling you this worth putting up a fight Grab hold don’t think twice climb on my chest stay the night Years have I waited biding my time and trying to guard my loving flame Love that burns in my heart ever ready to roar yet always remains the same Ready to go out as easily as it could be turned into a furnace of passion If there was anything to gain from my efforts I’d be tempted to cash in But since the day the soda dropped onto my restaurant table Could be a million dollars in for me but I still wouldn’t be able Feeling like even with the troubles that found their way to mess up our plan Even the slimmest chance I couldn’t resist cause the thought makes me a happy man Years have we wondered, is happiness even aware where I live Everyone wants to take but I don’t know if I want to give Then you locked eyes with me and held me tight in your arms Head over heels so enamored with your exquisite charms Years have we hoped for something like this to exist So many failures, far too damn many to list Years would we regret not giving it a try Years we will cherish together watching years go by Tim Windisch 7/31/2021
