Midnight

Something I wrote about my friend, whom i haven't seen in ages...

Midnight

Four years have passed me by

Since I last saw your face

Through long-lost memories, in my broken mind

You were always my saving grace

As I close my eyes, your smile haunts my dreams

From happy memories so far gone

But now it seems you're so hard to find

Though I pray so much that I'm wrong

So how could I have been so blind

Not to treasure the one I had?

Now I'm standing here, wishing I could turn back time

So I would never feel this sad

Wherever you are, wherever you'll be

I'll keep searching till I find you

Across the deep blue skies and the distant seas

You know everything we had

It was all so true

And now you're gone

And I'm waiting here alone

Wishing I could change it all again

(But deep down I know

There's no more tomorrow)

I've missed you too long

Staring down at my phone

Your picture's all I have for the pain

(But deep down I know

There's just too much sorrow)

Waiting for the day when I'll see your face again

Across fields of green and golden sand

Four years have passed me by

And it's been pure bitterness every day

Watching the rain fall across the darkened sky

Wishing you weren't so far away

I really should have thought twice, but now it's all too late

Oh how I wonder where you are

Maybe I should just accept it, just accept my fate

Yet it'll never heal my scars

So how could I have been so blind

Not to cherish the days we shared?

Now I'm broken here, don't wanna leave the days behind

Though I didn't show it, I really cared

Wherever you are, wherever you'll be

I hope I find you in the end

But this I swear, I swear you'll see

You were such a wonderful friend

Such a wonderful friend

And now you're gone

And I'm waiting here alone

Wishing I could change it all again

(But deep down I know

There's no more tomorrow)

I've missed you too long

Staring down at my phone

Your picture's all I have for the pain

(But deep down I know

There's just too much sorrow)

Waiting for the day when I'll see your face again

Across fields of green and golden sand

Now the clock is stuck on midnight

And I'm here all alone

Though the moon is shining so bright

I'm a million miles from home

I call out through the darkness

Through the regret that shrouds me now

So if you're listening, don't give up on me

I know I'll find you somehow

And now you're gone

And I'm waiting here alone

Wishing I could change it all again

(But deep down I know

There's no more tomorrow)

I've missed you too long

Staring down at my phone

Your picture's all I have for the pain

(But deep down I know

There's just too much sorrow)

Waiting for the day when I'll see your face again

Across fields of green and golden sand

[HopelesslyDevoted]

this is an amazing poem filled with honest emotions of true love! beautiful! and i don't mean to say this about so many people's poems, but i am always struck especially by the last line (i think its one of the most important parts of the poem) and i love what you used here! i'm not even sure how to explain what I like about it but its really cool!

[MissWordSmith]

Didn't you write a story that had a similar story line? ;) Must be a special friend!
I thought it was beautifully written, and we, your readers, can literally feel the heaviness in YOUR heart as you wrote this. This made me sad. But I'm happy it did, because it held true, strong emotion.
Keep writing!
