My heart is heavy
like a ton of bricks
It's  not singing the
same rhythm it's doing flips
It seems that it's
skipping beats
not a happy rhythm
the way this heart beats
It's out of sync
A total eclipse of the heart

Like Niagara Falls
the volume of water that flows
over it's cliffs
from my eyes so do
my tears
There's not a day that goes by
that I'm not thinking
of the last five
years.  
Spending time together
like pioneers discovering new frontiers

Is this the way it's supposed to be?
Six months has gone by since you've been with me
Life goes on
not to remain the same
Time will tell
but in the meantime I'm going through hell
I'm trying to find a way to overcome this heartbreaking spell

I stay busy, I keep
occupied  by working throughout my day
I still think of you
Then a tear runs down my cheek as it leaks from  my eye
Once again my heart skips a beat
Wishing it was pounding the rhythm of a happy melody
playing to the tune of loving you
If you were to put your head upon my chest
  you would hear the story of our legacy
I don't know where it will  go from here
If there's a remedy
for this heavy heart that's inside of me and to stop this waterfall called tears

Talk to me from your pillow and I will hear you from here
That you still love me because I still love you  my dear
I write you these words from my heart and soul.
I really do miss you
I miss you so

X's and O's it's time
for me to go
Until next time when I write you a new poem or maybe even hear your voice over the telephone
