Bound

Looking from afar
trying not to forget you
i am lost

falling to my knees
to my heart
no home but sadness

I have no other home
My love is here
My love has been wasted

You have drifted away
returning occasionally
with words of woe and love

My soul is bound to yours
Even as you fade
ease my heart

The shelter of your love was heaven
the wounds of your departure 
Are still raw

my hardness opened 
tears flow
memories of you running down my cheek

i wander 
constantly drifting towards you
the dam of my suffering breaks as you come into my mind

i am speechless at your vision
behind closed eyes your beauty remains close
when you call i come

I hang on 
because you still dangle the string
the noose

Hello Jacob Jones, a break up is very hard to accept. Maybe in time she will come back to you. Give a chance to think things out. have a nice evening my friend.
