A Longing..........................

Darling do you still miss me

Do you still cry yourself to sleep

Do you ever think about me

Whilst you consume another drink

Am I a distant memory now

One you choose to forget

Are you happier without me

With just you and your complex head

Do you ever spare a single thought of me

Whilst you drink yourself away

Or have I faded into the distance

Am I firmly locked away

Do you drink alone now my love

To expel the worries from your head

Do you reassure yourself

That I’m emotionally, unstable instead

Or are you still racked with guilt

From the pain, hurt, that you caused me

The thought that if you’d chosen a different path

Our destiny would have ended so differently

So take a sip once more my love, take a deep exasperated gulp

The memories and the dreams we had

Are they still firmly lodged within your sickened throat

The longing that I have for you

Is still deeply rooted inside my soul

A longing that I know can’t last forever

But I just needed you to know
