Shadows
If love were my teardrops,
an ocean~they would fill.
If love were my memories,
the earth would stand still.
Have you heard a heart breaking
and the awesome sounds of despair?
~To reach out for something familiar
and know that it won't be there?
If love could taste all the pain
that you have experienced before,
would you search for it again
and repeatedly ask for more?
Chasing those past shadows~
knowing the sadness that will hurl~
I wouldn't have chosen the pain,
but I wouldn't have missed it
for the world!!
