Blurred Vision

what now is truly possible in my life
after the impossible shows her true colours
to lose sight of you and your magic lens
so shortly after you have come  into view
i cannot feel your aura anymore
my pain within has taken me to my knees 
my eyes cannot  see and i can barely breath
begging you please just turn around
i cannot feel my heart or soul 
this wound cuts to deep to the marrow
your legacy  is a scar that will never heal
the pain will never cease
i have tried to find the words
 to be allowed a gentle surrender
to find a way beyond 
the reach of the memory of you
an impossibility to be sure  
lost footsteps searching to find
a mia culpa retreat sans honour
yearning to find a solitary empty space
far and away…out of focus
to let my broken soul
mend within the eye of the storm
