Return of Sanity

“Return of Sanity” Fighting back tears as I try to say good bye, not seeing what I’m trying to say Catching my breath between sobs, grasping for air to breathe into my lungs Staring into the darkness that surrounds you and I searching for a familiar face Life has never felt so lonely without you as I feel standing before you now as you look away After so much time spent together laughing, loving, breathing the same air So many nights cuddled together just speaking of what’s to come So many plans left undone as I watch you walk away from us Lonely, so lonely, once again I fall to my knees in prayer begging for answers Like the gray moth flying in the night screaming out as it flies into the electric light I am left walking into the darkness staring at the light before me Praying this light is shining just for me but feeling as if it’s my light to Heaven I scream in the puddle of pain you’ve left me in to survive the water that surrounds me Please hear my voice as I cry for you into the empty cloudy sky No stars are shining now as the star I wished upon has left me secluded Lost in the vast empty space I reach out for a hand to pull me into an angel’s arms I fall to the floor of where we once walked hand in hand screaming for the return of sanity
