the prelude to pain

an ache with no answer
a pressure on my chest
not a heart attack – heart ache
unending
oh I try
deflect the negativity
which is the prelude to pain
positive thinking
again and again
but the reality is real
she and me
we were two sides of the same coin
interchangeable, yin and yang
opposite and attracted
very little in common
yet bound by the joining
of minds and hearts
an unexpected love
overwhelming
breaking down the barriers of culture and age
distance separated us and yet
she was my constant companion
beneath my skin, in the very fibres of my body
the beat of my heart
the coursing of my blood
the music of her
held all of me enthralled
prisoner of so much more than desire
passion drew us to one another
an unquestionable, magnetic power
and then the giving
the surrender to a love
so sweet, so unforgettable
undeniably
a forever love


and now I live in the silence
of without her
