Missing You

I'm alone as I lay missing you,
Weary is my heart while burning in pain;
For my love shall remain here for you.

When dawn breaks my broken heart heals anew,
Nightfall draws closer while my heart cries in vain;
I'm alone as I lay missing you.

My soul feels helpless but remains for you true,
Your memory compels me while my happiness wanes;
For my love shall remain here for you. 

Perhaps the devil is collecting his due,
Hopelessly forcing my feelings in chains;
I'm alone as I lay missing you.

Whilst my feeling for your touch in lieu,
Sorrow hath covered my heart causing stains;
For my love shall remain here for you.

If only these moments subsided to few,
The sensation of bereavement refrained;
I'm alone as I lay missing you,
For my love shall remain here for you.

I've had nights like those. Thinking back I rip myself off but truly , those miss you nights are the worst. That just means this is an excellent visual experience. Thanks for stopping by me too.
