Secrets

I want to hold you so badly, 
 Images of you fill my dreams.
You're not there when i wake, 
 Only a pillow to stifle my screams. 

I see you so vividly, as if you're here, 
 A vision of liquid green emeralds, instead of eyes. 
Blond, wavy hair, with a mind of it's own, 
 When i think of that smile, a piece of my heart dies.

If i could stay asleep longer i would,
 It seems as if it's the only time I'm at peace. 
Awake my mind races, and i can't think straight, 
 Asleep is the only time my pain appears to cease.

Heart, heavy with memories of our laughter, 
 They keep flooding my soul, and i'm drowning.
How do i get over your abandonment, and betrayal?
There is no more happiness, only me frowning.

A sadness, so intense, there is no escape, 
 I'm failing miserably, trying to be brave. 
Tears slide down my face in a great magnitude, 
 As i lay these flowers on your grave...

Your concluding line is heartrending and sad... lost love, especially when the loved one dies, is particularly tragic. Beautifully written. God bless, Keith

It really touched my heart to see how I appear through your eyes. I love you. By the way "Glue" and "Security" made me feel all warm and tingly inside. Love Illy, your bestest friend.

What a vivid sense of longing and loss you convey on this one! I enjoy the irony of sleep representing a type of death, a nexus point when the departed haunt the mind with so much detail. Congrats on the well-earned feature this week!
