Forlorn

You have finally come home to me
 Yet you are still as distant as the sea.
You always seem so hidden away
 Never to come into the light of day.

I miss seeing your sweet smile
 I fear it will not be seen for a while.
I know emotions are hard to contain
 Yet all I see is loss and pain.

Are you not happy to be here?
 Do you not want me near?
You are so lost that I fear
 That you will never be here.

In spirit, you seem away
 Even I cannot sway
To keep you with me
 I know I just have to let you be.
