Hidden Poem by Deborah Cromer

We lived together, only so we could end apart
Not knowing this would happen from our very start
I believed we would be together as man and wife
Forever sharing our awesome, passionate life

We spoke our hearts and spoke our mind
Forever together our steps toward heaven would wind
Forward and up to the top of our flight
We journeyed through the day and found the night

Always at the end of every day we would together lay
Side by side, close to each other we would warmly stay
I loved you so much and I thought we would never end
That our life as one we would forever spend

I loved your voice and I lived for your sound
You were the anchor that kept my feet on the ground
My gift, my package of everything so sexy and true
No room then for believing anything sad or blue

Only us that is all I ever would know or want
We had only each other, those words will forever haunt
I lived to be yours and to be what you needed
I would've listened to warnings, I would've heeded

No clues that we were falling apart
No hints that you would soon be breaking my heart
Only when it became too late did I feel the pain
Losing you and missing you has made me go insane

I am crazy now, only because I miss you so deep
Sadness overtakes me, out of control my soul does weep
I hide it from all who know me and nobody knows
Sunk into the darkness my happiness quietly goes

Sinking down into the depths of lonely dark
Insanity conquers and tortures, imprinting it's mark
I have a secret of a love, true and gone
My hidden memory of a dream that still lives on
