Missing

the stars shone bright
the day that I lost
a piece of my heart
at a very high cost

3 years ago
that fateful day
my love took wing
and flew away

He left me alone
and wondering why
he left with a kiss
and a gentle goodbye

Eagerly waiting
for his joyful return
his absence had left me
with shadows of scorn

I sat by my window
and looked at the sky
with hope that just maybe
you'd come flying by

he promised he loved me
and to never say never
he said he'd come back
he'd be with me forever

but it's been a long time
and my faith started fading
I miss him, but wishing
will not stop the waiting

I hold back the tears
but still they will come
brokenness binds me
and I only feel numb

with every new dawn
and the hope that I lack
I'm starting to realize
he's not coming back
