I've longed for your touch the taste of your kiss.
The spark in my heart and eternal bliss.
The day that you left me, the day I would miss.
To change the things that I cannot forget.
The pain I gave your heart and mind,
Is something I carry so you can be fine.
So many things I'd tell you my dear,
But the silence back is something I fear.
I saw the life that I could've had, the one where we'd wed and never be sad.
But you're gone now and wont answer my calls.
The time is coming another year of,
The time I fell for you my love.
Alone and afraid to go outside,
to see those thing that will remind.
Of times together your hand in mine...
to have that again to truly be fine.

My head hurts today, much in like my chest does most days.
The sun has hid away, just like all that's left of my will.
Alone, a somber feeling, an empty space. Where the thoughts become clearer.
Like a fake smile on my face.
A facade I live, I'm fine. Dont worry about me, I'm happy.
Reality is being emotionally crippled, head wandering, browsing memories.
Desperately wishing for them to be scattered like confetti across the room.
They dont, and I'm left writing another poem.

I've been seeing more of you these days.
You're always just out of sight.
You've been there though, most every night.
I've seen you before whenever I'm down.
You always seem to be just hanging around.
You hide in the dark, your face an enigma.
Not scary at all, like that negative stigma.
You'll be my friend, until my last breath.
The closest of friends, the friend I call "Death".

Tragedy struck in its own way,
When I lost my will to live today.
Hollow and empty a pale, body shell,
So frail and so lifeless, not looking so well.
My words are fledgling, and often unnoticed.
A ghost in the corner, nobody will miss.
I'm sorry my love, my time is fleeting.
You didn't notice my heart had stopped beating.

We're still together in my dreams.
In memories, you shared with me.
The time we walked across the sand,
On the reef, hand-in-hand.
The cool night breeze, the island air.
The smell of your sun-kissed hair.
The way my heart beat in my chest.
The first time you wore that dress.
I never felt like I got to tell you.
You're the reason why I love you.

This time it feels like it could last,
The love we shared in our past.
I kiss your lips, knowing I cant stay.
It's time to start another day.
No need for sadness or for sorrow,
I'll see you again this time tomorrow.

The cyclic feeling is overwhelming,
Hurting those who've tried to love me.
Regrets unsaid and things I've done,
Make me what I have become.
Vicious tongue and shortened temper,
Is preparing sadness for this winter.
Matthew O'Dowd Oct 2018
Change the past and be new again.
To live a life with you again.
Caress your skin with lips emblazoned.
Praise your temple; sins forgiven
Child born; from our passion.
Hold you close in loving fashion.
Feel your distance; looming dread.
Again I get to hang my head.
See the fracture; wave goodbye.
Again I feel like I should die.
Wake from nightmare; soaked in sweat.
Feeling it's not over yet.
You're still gone; growing sadness.
Welcome to eternal madness.
