The writings of Oddpoet

The past melts from the heart
With each pass­ing day
It seems that time does not erase
But numbs the sting away

Heartache has been recalled
Much too often, my love
All those vapid lonely nights
With only you to think of

And those thoughts made me smile
More than you knew
For when you peered in the win­dow
Tears were all that came through

Strength was devel­oped
Patience incurred
Learned to walk on the sun
With­out speak­ing a word

Evil strolls lightly
Through this dark mas­quer­ade
But the warmth of your touch
Makes the sin­is­ter fade

I still feel you, my love
I sense that you’re near
Can’t see past each masque
But I lis­ten to hear

My love, my one
True del­i­cate note
Time strug­gles onward
With clear­ness remote

My hand remains empty
My heart miss­ing one
Soul search­ing for you
The twin star of my sun

The past melts from the heart
With each pass­ing day
It seems that time does not erase
But numbs the sting away
