Just us two

I have seen the life that flits from fingers,
That have worked for love,
And clenched in silent pain,
Traced every smile that curves,
On your lips,
With invisible hands,
Although I can hear you say my name,
And feel the heat of you on my skin,
Remembering the way you spoke to me,
In the darkness with the world locked outside my door,
Just us two,
And no more.
