Love Poem: I'M a Million Miles Away

I'M a Million Miles Away

she says
I love you
but I'm a million miles away
having thoughts of another
the one with misty grey eyes
long brown hair
velvet skin
and a touch of wickedness
that I can not resist
she is with me always 
in my dreams
and when I'm awake
I'm holding my lover 
after the passion
but I'd rather be holding another
my lover
she so good to me
always there
I can feel the love
she has for me
it seems to grip me
but I can't let go of another love
in secret we still meet
my ex-girl and I
casting spells upon one another
making love in rooms
we rent for a few hours
finding happiness
during the embrace of passion
we are one
she always whispers
we are soulmates
in my ear
it always hits me
like a punch
taking my breath away
my lover is sleeping now
and I'm a million miles away
having thoughts of another
how did it ever become 
like this
I tried to let go
now like my father
hurt my mother
I'll bring suffering 
to this woman
now as she sleeps
I silently cry
at what I've done
I'll wake up tomorrow
feeling down
knowing what I must do
I'll make my confession 
of when
I'm a million miles away
