Benediction

I lost you somewhere out there
My mind grasping at your essence
Inhaling your dying aroma
Clinging to existence

How did we end up here?
Two spirits once joined
Now torn and reborn
Separated by life

I call to you in my dreams
Unanswered, dying dreams
Fighting to stay alive
Bound to my mind with hope

The waking light tells me I must go on
Reluctantly, the truth is faced
But the memories will always be mine
Soft reflection

I pray you find love once more
For even if I never
Feel the whisper of those sweet lips again
I hope they smile
