Black Velvet Poem by Lovely Enchantress

On that last night underneath I wore black velvet.
Time with you never on my side.
Your fingers ran gently across it's softness.
Everything left in the rising tide.

I came to you with passion in my heart and my eyes full of desire.
Wanted to capture what was still mine.
Ready to set your heart and night on fire.

I heard all your words with some held back.
I needed to hear them even when they hurt.
I felt torn down and on the attack.

All the feelings stuck deep in my chest.
Should I had played the fool and unburden my heart to you.
I wish my emotions were at their best.
Everything seemed so far and out of sight.
Would it have changed a thing,
between you and I.
We both lost something that night.

All the unspoken I wanted to confess.
Holding my cards too close to my chest.
I Standing too strong and left it a mess.

Heart over mind, mind over heart.
Choices to be made.
How could it be so unkind.
I drifted through the night with tears over flowing.
My heart tore open and broken.
Left without a kiss or hug, to always be missed.
All the words left unspoken.

The night started with a black velvet kiss.
