Imbalance

I thought that when you left me
That time would heal me
Of my craving for you

But, Oh God, I was so wrong!

I thought that when the moments
Of missing you became days that became weeks that became years
That I would forget you

But, Oh God, I was so wrong!

I thought that when I incinerated your letters
Ripped up your photos, cremated your memories
That I would forget you

But, Oh God, I was so wrong!

I thought that when I married a loving sensuous woman
That her kisses and caresses would
Banish you from the core of my being

But, Oh God, I was so wrong!

I thought that nurturing the miracle of my child
Would stop me missing
The cries and laughs of our unborn children

But, Oh God, I was so wrong!

The only thing I got right in my life
Was how I felt about you
