Stepping out into the cold, first time seeing your smile
Wrapping my arms around you
That first kiss, first of many
Feeling the warmth of your lips
Holding you in my arms, hearing those words
Did they have true meaning, or just empty words
As time wore on, they seemed like only words
The coldness in your voice
No affection in body language
You were always wanting, never giving in return
Willing to give all for none in return
What I get for following a hunch
Mistakes in the past, bound to not repeat
Was I wrong, yes I was
Nothing can change what was said
Knife wounds to the core
You kept hurling daggers til the end
Blind to what was there
Always wanting others to love you as well
Never satisfied with just one
Heart will lie, will never heal
Build a wall to protect what's left
From your words at the end
To destroy what was available for only you.
On this journey of life
Gliding along the path
In the wilderness without a guide
No light to shine the way
Solitude at times like this
Not always welcome
Through the darkness
Alone and with no hope
The darkness closes in
On my soul, and upon my heart
This despear can longer be held
Searching for the answers
Alas, they are far from my grasp
Your light was close
But now it's far away
Your love was cherished
But now it's gone
Destined to live this life alone
I wander the hills and streams
Searching for an escape
From the pain and hurt
Happen upon a cove
As the surf crashing around
I lay my head upon the sand
Wave upon wave flowing over my head
Drifting further into sleep
A slumber that has no awakening
Breathing in the mist and spray
Sand entering with each passing wave
Shallow breaths as blackness envelopes me
Drifting off, life escaping
Lungs screaming for relief
I see a light in the dark
Gazing towards the source
It's not but a tourch
Suspended in air by the breeze
Letting this darkness take hold
I give myself freely
To rest alone til Days End.
Alone in this world
Searching for something not to be found
Coming close, but yet so far
Within inches it lays
Reaching out to grasp
Coming away with empty air
Love once was near
But with each passing of the sun
Further and further it slides
Away from touch or feel
Emptiness in this world
Is all that stands before
The meek and lonely
Shall perish without a trace
Emptiness is all that is known
No love allowed by those whom we trust
No love allowed by whom we know
Emptiness is all around
This soul departed
Not to be missed
Along the cliff's edge
Teetering on the edge
Plumeting far below
To the raging surf
To disappear without a trace
This emptiness shall fullfill
This longing shall cease
This light of life no more
