The Niggle

What is the niggle?
What is it that set ablaze to all I know?
Is it fear? An imperfection? a tingling doubt?
Is it the past catching up with the present?

My heart is in ashes, as I watch the flames
flicker and heat... on my dying heartbeat.
All set a sunder, I am helpless to distinguish
turn back time is my only wish.

I have to believe beneath the icy front
My love is dying inside as the flames
dance upon her once warm heart,
And the pain is eating her as it is me.

I have to believe the love we feel
was both felt and shared by our charred hearts.
That she misses me as a flower
Misses the Sun, and I miss her

What is that niggle that has undone?
Has burrowed and split what was true
And turned my sunny world to every shade of blue.
Oh, what has that niggle done?

Two hearts that began to beat as one
The deceptive niggle would have some fun.
"Push me away will you!" The niggle would say
"I'll burn it all! And ruin your sunny day!"

I have to believe the tears I shed
She cries them too, from eyes and heart in blood red.
That her insides feel as torn as mine
that she misses her hand in mine.

I have to believe she misses
the warmth of me and all my kisses.
Oh, that damn niggle!! Has won this day
Left two hearts shambled in dismay.

Two hearts that love each other
and keep guard over the magic that is.
Two souls, beautiful, kind and free
she was always meant for me...

What is the niggle? For this I do not know
But I will search hi and I will search low
To find the niggle that has crushed and torn
an amazing love that was deservingly born.

My love, I know in my soul
You are the half to make me whole.
I'll not let that niggle, whatever he may be
Be the last thoughts of you and me.
