Silently I Cry For You

I wander through this land Of broken promises and dreams Clouded by the death of you Wondering what life means My colourless existence In a world of black and grey Reflects the person I’ve become And who I am today Without you in my life I seem to have no life at all No one here to guide me Or to catch me when I fall I almost hear you breathing I almost feel you near I almost feel your touch Sometimes it’s almost like you’re here This jigsaw puzzle of my life Has pieces I can't find For half of me went with you Leaving half of me behind I feel so cold and lonely So battered and so bruised I feel so insecure right now Tortured and confused My life is like an open book Written but unread Thoughts I never told you Words I never said The voice of hidden truth, I know Will never now be spoken Though time may heal my scars I know my hearts forever broken Silently I cry for you Silently I pray For silence is the loudest spoken word I never say I can’t escape the darkness I’ve come to know so well While you are free in heaven I still reside in hell And here I will remain Until the day my life is through Until the day God takes my hand And leads me back to you..
