Emptiness creeps over me.
Day by day,
night by night.
It seems I'll never wake from this nightmare.
Life drones on in patterns, never ending.
In my dreams I see you-
Your infamous smile
that only I understand.
Hope?
I once knew of this,
but with every mile between us
it was ripped further from my mind.
Oh, how I miss you!
I see you everywhere.
Not your face;
I see your heart.
A shining star bears your enthusiasm.
A single rose, the most beautiful on the bush,
stands alone.
In a pool of water I see your inner peace and serenity.
I remember the calm that you bring into my life.
I long to dive in and swim deeper, deeper.
Forever immersed,
never having to think.
Just feel.
To know I'm yours.
Without you I feel as if I'm trapped in a whirlpool.
Life spins around me
while I lie helpless on this bed of thorns.
The light from where you used to be dims.
Day by day,
night by night,
I fall deeper into shadow. |
