Haunted (A Collaboration W/Jimmy M. Anderson)

Every corner I turn, I see your sweet face The memory, like a ghost, haunts me still I recall how you loved me you gave me your all I can not believe that I pursue you, just let you go! Now my heart, so heavy, my days dreary and dark It is I whose pride I must cast aside I must search in earnest, and lay every doubt aside And pray that day; comes, when I touch your sweet face When my days become brighter no longer to exist in the dark I promise, on my honor to give you my all Until you return to me, there is no place I want to go So right here in this time I wait for you still Your joy, your pain, every heart beat, share it all We’ll blend as one, laying insecurities aside Wherever you go, my heart and I also will go No longer haunted by the memory of your sweet face For now I know above all else, I love you still In the light of your eyes I bloom but slowly, die in the dark When the storms of life bring clouds so dark When loneliness engulfs me, clearly I see it all In the quiet of night when all is still I lay alone in our bed, I cast my mask aside On your pillow I swear there’s the imprint of your sweet face Tears flow, my pain grows, no respite, and no where to go Every thought of you lingers for hours and won’t let me go I find no comfort in solitude as I sit in the dark I pretend you lie here in this bed; I can almost feel your face Ingratitude was what I offered when you gave to me your all Your quiet devotion, taken for granted and cast aside For wanton, shallow affection, I am nothing! I need you still If you could see me now and I could see you still If you would come to me now, today, or I to you, go I’d pledge my life; my true devotion put my wanderings aside Emptiness would not embrace me as I sit here alone in the dark My heart I’ll give only you forsaking others, all! And bask in sunlight forever if I could see your sweet face In my eyes you’re still the light that shines in my dark I would go anywhere, for you, I’d give you my all Let foolish pride fall aside that I may behold your sweet face

Deep feelings and devotion, so well expressed in this sad poem! I can feel with you, Audrey! But believe me, music and writing will help to overcome all difficult times in life!..Is it as easy to listen to music videos on youtube in the US as it is in Germany? MJQ got also nice performances there!...Thank you for your kind comments and have a great week ahead!...Love, Gert
