Ashli Triad

The time I’ve been away is far too long

And the pain of loneliness is so strong.

I need you!

Empty days follow still emptier nights;

Till the world you colored dims to grey sights.

I need you!

I wish thoughts of you would fade for a while,

But how can I forget your haunting smile?

I need you!

Yes, when I burn with the heat of desire

And my body tingles like a live wire,

I need you!

Chances were slim, but I dread they’re now none;

And ever the thought you’re the only one.

I need you!

Without you the years ahead look hollow;

I’ve known the best so who else could follow?

I need you!

The long tab of fierce yearning is now due,

And I can’t live without you, always you.

Ashli, you!
