Tears On Blank Pages

Last night I dreamt of you again

Alive, holding me close to your heart

With gentle fingers combing my hair

And songs whispering softly in my ears

 

Awoken, my tear-stained pillow

In reality's nightmare, you no longer exist

As I hold onto my withering dreams close

Forever engraved upon my aching heart.

 

This sadness overcomes all emotions

Shackles and chains, left unbroken

My tears drenched in black ink

Falling upon these blank pages.

 

Only the shadows playing on the walls

Can understand such a wicked pain

Taunting and playing in their own ideas

Taking advantage of this suffering.

 

Lyrical disections of emotions

Finding the words that do not exist

No one will ever truly know or feel

This unwanted, unimaginable hurt.

 

I often wonder, secretly within mind

If there is enough room in that box

For me and for you to share an eternity

Together, once more -- always and forever.

 

Your whispers cut deep into my heart

You would never want that of me.

So I will write away this lifetime of pain

In tears upon these blank pages.

Beautifully said, oh my, I have tears in my eyes....

I often wonder, secretly within mind
If there is enough room in that box
For me and for you to share an eternity
Together, once more -- always and forever.

I wished more people would write that honest, and full of emotion.
