Shrouded in mystery
Blinded by darkness
Trapped inside, like a brick wall
Engulfed in misery
Isolated from memories
Removed from physical awareness

On the other side
Through the darkness
Fog settles in the air
Moonlight streams through clouded night
Figures stand amongst the hills
Behind the trees lurks the unknown spirits

Longing for your kiss goodbye
Without you in sight, but remaining in mind
Your whispers surround me like a blanket
Tears fall, like shells from a gun, hitting the ground
The shadows dance still
You’re presence is missed by many
The call that came that night kept me awake for hours
Nightmares started haunting, and never ceased to exist
And a dark cloud pours all day long, sobbing and soaking
Running on empty for so long and without your hopeful words
Whispering, ‘it will all be okay, I’m here.’
You’re no longer here.

Unable to pull myself away
In a trance-like state
Wipe away the tears streaming like waterfalls
Here, leaving you with something for the night
A soft, pink rose—you like these best
It adds a bit of contrast, lying atop your grey tombstone

For now, I’ll stray
Off to the place you once called home
Still I follow the routine since that day
When you walked out of my life and didn’t return
But for you I always will
And baby, I’ll be back tomorrow morning.
