Torn Poem by christopher murphy

I look at you with eyes of wisdom
your youth and beauty a sight to behold
the way you lay in my arms totally at peace
like a rose in the early morning sun
yet those years i feel
are slipping from my grasp
as the middle of my life greets me
yet we crave the same goals
stability and comittment slip from our lips
our hearts yearning for love
unconditionally until the last dawn
so why am i wary of giving you my love
i know you will return it and be so true
so hold me and tell me its right
for youll stay with me and love
for thats if you want
or set me free from this yearning
back into the deserts of uncertainty
once again in search of a true love
for i am hardened to it
its been such a long journey
alas i feel it will never end
you have the power to break the spell
and i will cast aside my insecurities
and disillusions
and find my rightfull place
alongside a true love
