I ALWAYS FELT YOU WERE RIGHT HERE
Where have you gone?
tomorrow is too long,
all my tears were wronged.
I waited for you to come,
so many things,
needed to be un-done.
Time slipped into eternity,
my searching faded,
with each days uncertainty.
Every star I captured,
I saved just for you,
every moonbeam too.
I felt betrayed,
I felt abandoned,
unaware you had been mislaid.
I'm older today,
I haven't the strength,
my hair has turned gray.
So I gave in,
beneath a dark sky,
drowning my sorrow in gin.
Unaware you were there,
for all those years I had cried,
beneath God's beautiful sky,
Not knowing you had died..,
