Lost In Thought

The glowing fire held my gaze
Lost in thought was I.
Always they turn to you,
Often do I cry.

Sat alone, midnight nears
I seek no company.
My tears are private, just for you.
I want you here with me.

But no, fate had other plans
It took you away.
No explanation, nothing,
However hard I prayed.

Known only unto God they say,
We cannot know the why.
As I gaze into the fire
What can I do, but cry.
