Solitary Absence
I wrote this for friend who asked me to write something for her friend who just lost his wife of 40 years. My heart still goes out to him and anyone who has to go through this.....
Walking through life with my eyes closed,
Afraid if I open them I would become exposed.
I will be forced to see a world without you in it,
The dreams were all I had, all my heart would permit.
My mind only sees you in my arms, my heart agrees,
How am I supposed to navigate life's torrent seas?
Alone was never a thought we were meant to be forever,
You were taken from me to soon, now I'm alone in this endeavor.
How can I see past today with such blinding tearing sorrow?
Existing, barely breathing, unable and unwitting a tomorrow.
You're not here to kiss and tell me it's going to be all right,
I'm alone now and I fear the endless unaccompanied dark of night.
I want to be there with you in heaven to be able to hold and kiss,
Not having to close my eyes stuck with just visions as I reminisce.
