Bereft

 

It's hard to breathe with half a heart

The pain alone can kill 

What starts with tearing asunder

Results in agony and woe distilled

Half my heart resides elsewhere

You've taken it away

The pair of us are both bereft

But close to me you will not stay

Until you return to me, my love

I sit and wait and sigh

Above all that I pray that you

Return to me before I die

Darkest Dreaming

In the darkest corner of my mind
That's the place they stay
The ones that won't go away
Where they don't have to hide

I watch the parched desert
Encroached by now barren sea
Scorched down to aridity
And wonder if I can flee

In this bleak and desolate place
Electricity fills the air
Outside pressures compose the haze
That bring the end to many a chase
Reality has begun to tear
Seen through the spine of the sun's buring glare

We Are

When the pain gets too much
Remember...We breathe together

When life gets too hard
Remember... We stay together

When the trouble is too scary
Remember... We are unafraid together

When we need to be apart
Remember... We are better together

When it all fades away
Remember... We light each other's way

When the world falls down around us
Remember... When we fall, together we rise.
 

Knowledge

Sleep beside me forever
Claim your portion and peace
Let fears drift into the aether
Pain and sorrow shall cease
Tomorrow is light years away
Consequences fail to show
By my side you'll stay
There is nothing else to know

Decision

Decision

So warm and comforting

Your hand on my cheek

Just a little thing

To show how you care

How you hold my hair back

While I worship the porcelain god

When you bring me weak tea

And dry toast

There’s still love in your eyes

How long before you resent me?

Before you regret

The choice you have made?

I love you enough

To tell you to go

But I’m selfish enough

To ask you to stay

It’s your

Decision

Beloved/Summons (A Conversation)

I long to see the sunshine.

              You see it every day.

I miss the sea and sand.

In your eyes, their colors lay.

I want to see my beloved,

I miss you just as much!

To walk with her hand and hand.

I miss your very touch!

My beloved, I summon you.

I hear and answer the call.

I call you home to stay.

Why would I wish to be away?

And once you have entered my view,

You are my world, my all!

I promise to be forever with you.

I have no reason to stray.
