Looked through some old photographs today
just to catch a glimpse of your loving face...
In the depths of my being, I ache for love,
Feeling desperate, craving its warm embrace...
It never gets old, this haunting refrain,
In the quiet of my mind, you still remain...
I tried to spark the sun at night,
But found the moon a stubborn foe...
Into the ether and into the night
I tried to escape and to make this all right...
I have never been the one to keep you warm,
Or stop the river freezing between your banks...
True love is the sunset, that blends in the sky
Or a river that flows, so gently by...
Haunting cries echo in chasms of days
And loneliness smothers at night...
I try not to think about you anymore
But it’s hard to forget how your smile touched...
Only pretty confetti was allowed to take flight
Dancing in the breeze of my carefree thoughts...
I cry.
For all the pieces of me I gave...
The sky, the moon
and ocean sands that meet the blue...
