Emptiness Fills My Hours
EMPTINESS FILLS MY HOURS
Sunshine brings a sadness into my rarefied air.
Your presence, missing, brings to my world, despair.
Sunshine brings a bleak, darkness to my life.
Without you !, my hours are filled with strife.
Sunshine is what you are, what you brought to me.
The beauty of our days, I will no longer get to see.
Sunshine, no longer reflects from these tired old eyes
as I try to look heavenwards, but see no more blue skies.
In memory, my mind's eye, I look into your beautiful eyes
but all I can see, all I can feel, are your good byes.
I should know my Dear, it should come as no surprise !
Yet, it still breaks my heart and my soul, loudly, cries
for the loss of all I had with you, watch, as it dies,
knowing, in the world of death, that is how it lies !
It is the beautiful dream - it, is the bond that ties -
longing to touch you again, to see you with these eyes.
