Love's Skeleton

Love's Skeleton

A Poem by butterfly

We are not just flesh and bone
there is a heart underneath this skin
there is breath within
Dreaming the dream of home
Inside your arms is where I long to be
Yet you can only be with me sometimes
I never seem to win
I feel so lonely
Oh God I confess he is my only
Wrong or right
Blues or abuse
He took the time to get me lychees and jujubes
Yet you can't just leave her for me
Yet you do things just to make me happy
You say you are happy in your personal life
Its a confusing twilight mind
I need a 100 percent love
Not a love that lasts sometime
Yet I am a prisoner
I can't say goodbye
I cant close my eyes and ignore the want in my heart
What is a girl to do
Why do I sit here missing you
Why do you text me you miss me
if we can never be
We are just love's skeleton
I hope one day we will be more than friends in the end
I am already 41 so I guess  maybe I am alone in this love
He tells me he is just a passing cruising ship
I dont understand this
when he tells me I should tell him when I am blocking you
Why must I let you know I am going to leave
Why don't you let me go
Why did you come and help me say goodbye to my Kiddo
Yet it is eternal heartache
Cause all I want to do is stay
You say we can stay keep seeing each other this way
Yet we can't walk in ranch 99 without your hand in mine
Yet we kissed in the park under moonlight
Another confused guy
All the others just want that good time
what happened fellas?
where are the ones who know how to talk to a lady
the other barely texts anymore
Mr. Right never knocks on my door
I guess that fairy tale is just a story
All I have that is left is love's skeleton
I call him Ben maybe one day we will be more than friends in the end
I want to walk away
He says we can keep seeing each other and just stay
Its a bittersweet truth
How can I leave when deep inside i always miss you
tell me where to go, tell me what to do
I dont want to be a stranger
I dont want to be a memory
I want to be more than just love's skeleton
I want you to know I care
tell me we were something then
more than love's skeleton
