Never Again
I'll never be held by you
During a cold winter night.
Never again.
I'll never get frisky with you
While the morning sun rises.
Never again.
I'll never stay up talking to you
All night long.
Never again.
I'll never know your touch
When an anxious moment comes.
Never again.
I'll never sit down to tea with you
On a rainy afternoon.
Never again.
I'll never hear you whisper French in my ear
As you caress my body.
Never again.
I'll never cry on your shoulder
And be embraced by you.
Never again.
I'll never read Tennyson and Byron to you
Right before bed.
Never again.
I'll never look in your eyes and
Find understanding.
Never again.
I'll never see your face.
The casket lid is closed.
Never again.
