On Hold

[Tude]

Emotions converge, confusion ensues.
Memories sting, like mental tattoos.
You were my rock, believe it or not.
Now that you've left, my stomach's a knot.
You're so close, yet so far.
The door I'll leave, ajar,
for the day you return.
My affection you've earned.
This hole in my heart
will tear me apart
before any other man
will do what you can,
which is calm down the beast that lies deep inside,
silence the demons who scream, "Don't confide!"
I never believed that I'd ever trust.
You showed me I could, and thank you I must.
Yours was a love of most plentiful source.
Whenever you're ready, I'll be here; I'm yours.
