Since you went Away

© Francisco Guzman 2005

Ever since you went away, it rains everyday
The day seems to be quiet with silence
And the nights seem to be long and lonely

Ever since you went away…
Life seems to have no purpose,
No reason to continue this way
Striving to survive appears to have no end
Such as the path in which I was left stranded in

The pain just seems to be growing inside
And the trees appear to stand still in the breeze
The ocean seems to overflow with agony
And the stars look as if they have lost their shimmer

Since you went away…
The moon does not radiate and lust
Among the shallow lakes
No longer does the wind howl its nocturnal song
Which awakens the truth within the soul

Everything seems to be different,
Light seems to cower, under the rule of darkness
And I seem to have forgotten the meaning of life
Please come back, won’t you?
Because it’s not the same since you went away

Time appears to have no meaning
And colors look as they have dimmed and faded away
The roses seem to have lost their lovely feel
And love doesn’t seem to matter anymore

Since you went away…
The grass has lost its lush
The flowers appears to have lost their beauty
The stars once again seem to be unreachable

Once again…
The Ocean seems to be too deep
The moon seems to be too far
The mountains appear to be too steep
And your love doesn’t seem to reach me from where you are
