Longing

Missing someone hurts

 

 

 

Longing

By jack

 

 

My life is but an empty shell

The features sure to see

A lonely living breathing hell

Since you’re not here with me

 

Cold and damp, as so it is

A voided grayish view

Lost between the now and then

Longing but for you

 

Branded with an hourglass

The sands of time so slow

Every waking minute since

My heart it wants you so

 

Stairways built to nowhere

Curved and out of sight

Climbing to the lowest point

I need you here tonight

 

Off beyond the atmosphere

A dark and barren place

I find it hard to breathe out here

Your love I can’t replace

 

Sitting in the empty chair

My feet don’t reach the ground

Swinging as if made of stone

Outside the lost and found

 

Looking to the heavens

For your smile to see

Tired of the loneliness

I need you here with me

 

The temperature is dropping

Stars refuse to shine

A vast and empty atmosphere

Waiting for the time

 

Till you are in my arms for good

I’ve waited patiently

Praying that your love will come

Down here and comfort me

 

Slippery the sidewalks

Ice upon the bridge

Snow as deep as mountains high

Fog upon the ridge

 

Still my heart it wanders

Searching for the place

When my eyes will once again

Peer upon your face

 

I shall keep on waiting

I will persevere

Till the morning does arise

Wishing you were here

Aw I had a huge lump in my throat reading this. I could feel the pain and sadness. It's like grieving. It's amazing how empty a life can be when someone special Is gone. Time is a wonderful healer and nature is a beautiful friend. I don't doubt that this person will find their sunshine again :)
