A Happiness Gone

I’ve never seen skies so perfect as this The clouds parted to reveal that blue I miss With every breath, the air caresses me inside So renewing I forget the last time I cried Within the field, the scent of nature all around me Sunshine warming flowers as far as the eye can see On a hilltop a tree triumphs all in its seclusion Holding a beauty that tricks my eyes as an illusion With each step I take the more my heart races I can’t believe it’s you, here of all the places That tree shading you from the sun of my land Finally being able to reach out and take your hand Your eyes, as beautiful as I’ve ever could envision Old feelings flow to my heart with such precision That story we’ve written being told in the breeze All the years of pain ended, a long waited appease Inching closer, my eyes close to savor this time We come together, after so long, like a perfect rhyme It took so long for this, a long fight for this to gain I’ve found my place, where with you I wish to remain I open my eyes, only to stare into a deep dark void My perfect world is no more, forever destroyed Cruel how the mind can be, I remain its mere pawn Leaving me with just a dream, a happiness gone
