poetry has cost me my sanity

with that being said

if that's all it needs that's fine by me

i don't have that much left

Compelled by the wind
set adrift alone at sea
my heart finds no ease

A lost soul cries out
loudest silence ever heard
falling on deaf ears

The semblance of youth
a clock ticking life away
a heart torn apart

Spending all these years alone,
Many dawns have passed,
With only a cup of tea to love,

Sunny days have gone by, too fast,
Rainy days seem so very long,

Spending all these years alone,
Too many setting suns have gone past,

Things I remember;
Holding hands, walking along the lake, dancing until sunrise,
Reading stories to each other and laughing,
The smile that brightened my dawn every day...

Things I still love;
Your photograph, your blue eyes, your roses,
My memories of you.

You're always in my dreams to love, standing in front of me,
Asking me to come and see wondrous things,

Every sunrise we say goodnight,
Loneliness calls to me,

In my heart,
Your memories will always stay,
In my dreams,
I will see you again,

Spending all these years alone,
A lifetime has passed,
A lake of tears has fallen,

My life long friends do not understand,
Why is there still pain, after so many suns have past?

If you ever see True Love pass,
Then you would know.
