alone i walk the lengths of this world 
you’ve been gone forever and a day

you didn’t say you’d be gone an eternity
when you last said your goodbyes

i wander here alone in my wilderness
while you’re out there on the other side

i walk around chasing the light
in a sky that clocks the time

meanwhile i shed my tears of dew
wondering when again i’ll be with you

I'm misty eyed after reading your poem. Such depth and subtlety in your words, words that resonated with me.
