Can'T Poem by Nicky McNeil

Can't put the tears
back inside my eyes
no more than raindrops
can return to the skies

Can't put the lost hopes
back in my haunted dreams
as without you my existence
slowly unravels at the seams

Can't put the lost light
back in my darkened soul
only by your soft tender touch
will I ever hope to be consoled

Nope, can't even put the me
back again inside of you
sharing deep sweet passion
as so often we would do

Now you ask oh just how
did my slow death start?
When I realized I could not
put love back into your heart
