Without You

An eternity feels as if it has already passed
And I still linger here
I believe time has a purpose
And waits for no man
But works with them just the same
A calling guided and spoken through
Many signs and symbols
And I have to listen
If I do not, I am lost
Like I have felt for so long in silence
I let you go
Like a butterfly, I walked away
As you seemed to fade long distance
Yet I held you close
Carried you secretly within
An ocean of secrets where you swim
Signs lead my thoughts to you
Ever since and still
And my heart grew saddened
Began to accept
What seemed like it's cruel fate
Then you speak
You say you feel the same
In not so many words
Expecting me to guess and know
Maybe I do, yet wish to hear it
But I know I feel
Always have amidst all of this
Never have I thought I'd hear you say
Anything again
I let you go your way
Swallowed many tears each passing day
As I watched you smile with them
Sometimes in spite I'd do the same
Pretending like a child
Denial that held no truth within
A lie to myself
A broken promise to me again
Here I am, without you
Watching your pain
Wondering if I will see you again
Will you want to hold me?
Will your heart bleed as mine did
And still pours with nothing to hold it
Without you, I write what is and has been
And hope for what could be
