A walk down the aisle

I am here

with all my heart.

Every inch of me

knew,forever.

It was ordained

we be together.

That you clasp

my hands, and,

ask me to be yours

till death do us apart.
Here I am, I am here,

with all my heart.

The tear veiled eyes,

peer into yours.

They never fail

to remind.

And, they whisper-.

Gentle,the words,

as they fall,

like a feather.

But the mind has

heard a million times.

The scene played

over and again

each part.

Here I am, I am here,

with all my heart.

Only,

Those eyes arent me.

Those palms, sweaty ,

with nervous desire

arent mine.

The ears listening

to sweet nothings.

None of it.Not a bit

You are no longer,beside.

You whisked your love away.

I remain a cast aside.

I should have seen it coming,

if only ,I was any smart.

And, I only stood there,

shocked still,but,

With all my heart.

The heart bid bye

The dimples

darken in the cheeks.

Funny,you should call it

'smile line'.

A life,loved and lost.

A loss so beloved.

A love so sublime.

You have long since taken leave.

And, I let my unmoored soul depart.

If only you had looked.

Deep enough .Just once.

You would've known,

There I was.Always.

And,

with all my heart.
