Ramblings from the Lost

No words can truly express
the heartache that I feel
my mind is a complete mess,
a virtual jumble of nil…

The void fills my soul
like a dark and empty night
no longer do I feel whole
no longer do I feel right

What ever shall I do,
without you in my life?
the only one I love so true
you said I’d be your wife…

But never mind that, now
that one I wasn’t holding you to
the one and only vow
that I really wanted from you
was the one where you came to me
to be touched and kissed and “knew”
…what it was like to love like this,
to join your soulmate, true…

I can’t go on and on and on
I can’t pick up the pace
in this place I am alone
without your smiling face

How will I wake up every morn’
without your voice to cheer me?
God, my life feels so very torn
my existence purely empty

How will we go on, magic man?
our love is so strong and deep
this wasn’t part of our plan
and now my eyes can only weep

How will I get to sleep at night?
who will see me pout?
I don’t want to give up this fight
you love me, of that I have no doubt…

How am I supposed to breath?
who will make my eyes smile?
at last you have refused to leave
even for a short while…

Be with me, I cry and cry
even for a day
but the truth, by and by
is that there you choose to stay…

To not touch and feel my love
to not know my real kiss
to not take what was sent from above
how, oh how, can you do this?

Your little girl I seem to be
and always your best friend
but you want to be set free
how can this be the end?
