poem

trembling with the knowledge
that perhaps i have
done this before
in a past lifetime
every breath i take
feels like the last
but is my first
i hold you close
to my chest
no strike that
to my heart
you don't understand me
you never will
and you accept that
you will never know
the inner workings
of my soul
however you know my heart
like the back of your hand
and i'll give to you
what is left of it
after all the past turmoil
you sigh as i kiss your forehead
we lean in for a kiss
i look into your eyes
and forget who i am
who i've been with
when i look into those
beatiful brown eyes
all i know is the man
i should be for you
i had an idea for a poem
but i lost it
within your eyes
