"Alone in Love"

I lie half-adrift in dreams
Within arm's reach of my love
Yet farther from him than ever
With eyes that do not see
With a voice that will not come
With a heart that can no longer feel
And I wonder to myself
If I cried out his name, would he hear me?
If I threw myself at his feet, would he notice?
If I told him I loved him, would he believe me?
If I reached out to him, would he feel my touch?
Or should I just wither in silence
Never to say the words that should be said
Merely to shed in silence my tears
Merely to suffer a needless pain
Merely to tell myself
This too shall pass
For what is love
But the sweetest pain of all?
