Prophecy
I look into forever
And I'm blinded by the pain
Of visions of an always
That never hears your name.
A lifetime spent without you
Is all I see in store --
With painful days outside your eyes --
And constant heartache evermore.
I see familiar faces --
Which once were filled with love --
Their tear-filled eyes reflecting
A dying, wounded dove.
Reality surrounds me
As I wake up in today
To find our love eternal
Has, somehow, lost its way.
I see emptiness inside me
Telling me you're gone --
So, I look outside tomorrow
For strength to carry on.
And, as tomorrow fades
Into a yesterday,
I see a love, inside my heart,
That just won't fade away.
