In Desperation

Have I been forsaken?
This thought is tormenting me 
What have I done to deserve this?
I always loved you and cherished your company

Suddenly the sky of life is overcast
My heart is tearing apart
You were the solace of my heart
My life is nothing without you

I hear your whispers in lonely nights
The fragrant breeze brings your scent 
The moonlit nights silhouette our loving days
I see your image all around me

From this ecstasy I come to the world of reality
You are gone and with you my everything  
My ears crave to hear your voice
My tearful eyes long to see you

Come my love and give meaning to my life
Spare me the anguish, throes and strife

I feel no one can give meaning to our lives, it must eminate from the place God occupies in our heart. Once we connect with that part of ourselves we are able to fully give to and receive from another. I like that your writing causes me to ponder.
