The Nothing

On my own without you, only half of me remains...

All alone in the dark I wait for the sun to shine again
Wishing I could fade away and die;
Because without you, there is no more sunshine
Only the grief stricken remorse I feel from regret;
Horrible regret from the moment in time that can never be untangled

Before me stands my judge and executioner
As I visit the depths of hell knowing this is where forever I shall remain.
The once beautiful sunlight only burns my tear filled eyes now;
I shall hide away in the darkness of my despair, forever waiting for your return.

I look around but you aren't anywhere...
You used to say that you would love me forever,
I guess forever for you has come and gone.
I will love you forever and keep my promise
Until the day the sea crashes it's last wave unto the shore.
The sea darkens with foolish pride and hopelessness,
Deep blue and cold, my soul yearns to have you near.

My scars from my aching heart run deep...
Too deep to heal, your return is the only cure.
You and I, you once said we were one,
Now I am only half whole living forever in misery;
Forever I shall watch the sky
Waiting for a glimpse of hope for your return.

nicholetta, this gorgeously heartbreaking
work of passion and longing is eloquent
and touching, a sweeping shadow of imagery
depicting the core essence of desire,
as your talent never ceases to amaze me, peace, mike
