The pain of you keeps me awake at night and I keep it close thinking I just might hold you again and say it's alright, but now I only travel memories, treasuring every mile and I wipe the tears all the while knowing sadness has a way of making me smile

Hands held gingerly, each a pace apart
I lead in the dance, you bring rhythm to my heart
I take my bold steps and you glide across the ground
I reach into the air, but your nowhere to be found
So I dance on alone holding on to memories
Wondering if my steps will ever bring you back to me

Darkness lurks within my soul
a living blight that no one knows
thick as oil I suffocate
forgetting love, there's only hate
Tony Oquendo Aug 2014
How bright the sun
How warm the sky
How strong the love of you and I
How cool the breeze
How sweet the scent
and how I love the time we spent
Rolling hills and splashing waves
Endless nights and year long days
Through summers touch and winters chill
I hold you close and time stands still
Tony Oquendo Aug 2014
I'm sorry that I hurt you
I'm sorry that I stopped
I'm sorry that I chased you
I'm sorry I got caught
I'm sorry for my temper
I'm putting all this in the past
I'm sorry for today
But today will be the last
Tony Oquendo Aug 2014
When the burdens of the world have all come crashing down,
when there's no one left to hold no comfort to be found;
when daylight seems a blur and the only peace is dark,
I'll leave you to your metaphors and pierce my breaking heart
