Never

"Never", you said. And my mind, Seeking desperately, in vain For ambiguity in your reply, Collapsed into a dream Of infinite cycles Of sun, moon and stars. And of their children, Barren wastelands Of cold gray earth, Never changing. Never a sound, And when I awoke You were gone. And my heart, Beating desperately, in vain To feel you near me Filled with sorrow And my eyes, Looking desperately, in vain To see you once again Filled with tears Enough to last a lifetime A lifetime spent without you Wishing desperately, in vain That I had never asked.

The subject matter, of course, bores me to an untimely death, but it's well writte.
