To Mourn

To mourn a loss that I have yet to lose,

A lover I have not spoken to

For fear got the best of me

When will love ever be free?


I dream of the day our hands intertwine

For me to be yours, and you to be mine.

But an overwhelming guilt takes over,

A guilt ridden October.


I will live in the shadow that I cast

Because I fall in love way too fast,

These emotions will surely bring you harm

And yet I seek solace in your arms


Realizations come crashing in

Like waves of sadness from within,

Some words are better left unsaid

Away from you I quickly fled


With my heart filled with regret

I wake up in a cold sweat

Yearning for you is all I can do

As I continue mourning my love for you
