So Far Away

Once I held you close My dear sweet loveless soul So rigid cold jagged your Edges left unrepairable scars Tears caress my cheeks Lingering in the fine lines Of age so dimly left by time But it was always you Every dream every plan You were just deaf to My words my meaning Distance blackened my heart At times I felt dead But until your ashes Filtered through my hand Despair disjointed tenderness No longer alive and well Or was it ever? If but Love would it have Died as fast as you? I ask but I cannot answer For I do not know Lonely despair and emptiness A void left unfilled Miracles are madness Faith is undaunting Hope is but a glimmer Of the next light of day.
