Thread: Forbidden Treasure

There are few things that I've treasured...

That I've had to let go forever...

Love misplaced, a hearts disgrace, hardest to endeavor.

For me, its unsure what is meant.

To feel unloved, and discontent?

I have lost the hand to hold, and have only a fingerprint.

The odds against me, they do stack.

And, hands of time can't be turned back.

Still everything another gains, reminds me of all that I lack.

I held on tight, with strength revered.

But still, somehow it dissapeared.

And all at once I came to live the nightmare that I feared.

Still feel the touch apon my skin.

Reminds me. Like a phantom limb.

How is it that I drowned before I had the chance to swim?

Perhaps I'll just retrace my steps.

In all mistakes, and all regrets.

But, I am now. What I was then. So in myself I second guess.

Now, on my heart is left a scuff.

Try telling myself that times were rough.

Was it really that I let it go, or was I never good enough?

What I have loved, and lost... was few.

I was never unable, just unworthy to...

...to have ever thought I could keep a hold of a treasure such as you.
