Wishing You Were Here
Every now and then I think of you
And those parts of you that live in me
That will never be the same.
Because of you, my life today
Aims in a different direction
No place that could ever lead me back whole
Can't remember the last time I felt the need
To embrace laughter without it being
Forced out of me or the last time
I could honestly say I felt complete.
All I know is that when in silence
I begin to weep
My heart's rhythm lulls
forming songs with its pangs that are
So painfully melodic
You are nowhere to be found but in
Everything I see, embrace and feel
You are ever so present still;
In those obscure places of my soul
That out of pure necessity have somehow
Managed to remain intact
You were my joy, my strength
My weakness, my hope to ever fill this void
Only the gentle whisper of the wind can remind me of
Those tender moments you and I once shared
That plethora of wonders recanted
Through promises broken
What's left of us
I wore a diamond you gave as a token
We were indeed kindred souls
That love could not save
I reach out to you and all I can find
Is traces of emptiness ever so cruel ever so kind
My only wish is for God to allow me, as day turns into night
To help me find comfort as I close my weary eyes
Is to find you there in my dreams
For only through this, could our lives ever again
In faithfulness entwine
