I held you close, I felt your lips I knew you so much, like I knew myself I took in your eyes, I took in your warmth I dissolved in a pool of your soft voice I unlocked your being, I saw you unravel Until you faded into the mist of nothingness I had been dreaming again Now I’m lonely and in pain… Life stole you from me…. My soul shatters at your absence Your memories wring me in and out How do I ever unlove you When I’d betrothed my heart, soul and existence to thee Was I not worthy Of a single goodbye??.... My breath struggles as I try to suppress a scream And then they flow, the tears and the madness Like river currents Unleashed by the pressing sadness within You! You made me believe in love Every inch of me longs for you to return Oh please! Come back I can live no longer My breath’s struggling And the end seems near I’m lying abandoned, but there’s no ‘you’ No ‘you’ to steer me away from this grief No farewells, no goodbyes Just empty promises You’re gone, and with you, gone is everything I ever had But I am still mourning That you’re gone, without a goodbye…..

Gone but no goodbye
I held you close, I felt your lips I knew you so much, like I knew myself I took in your eyes, I took in your warmth I dissolved in a pool of your soft voice I unlocked your being, I saw you unravel Until you faded into the mist of nothingness I had been dreaming again Now I’m lonely and in pain… Life stole you from me…. My soul shatters at your absence Your memories wring me in and out How do I ever unlove you When I’d betrothed my heart, soul and existence to thee Was I not worthy Of a single goodbye??.... My breath struggles as I try to suppress a scream And then they flow, the tears and the madness Like river currents Unleashed by the pressing sadness within You! You made me believe in love Every inch of me longs for you to return Oh please! Come back I can live no longer My breath’s struggling And the end seems near I’m lying abandoned, but there’s no ‘you’ No ‘you’ to steer me away from this grief No farewells, no goodbyes Just empty promises You’re gone, and with you, gone is everything I ever had But I am still mourning That you’re gone, without a goodbye…..
