Longing for you,
My heart crawls through the dark.
Feeling for a light,
To illuminate this chamber, expecting to find you here.
It finds the switch and flicks it on.
But what do I find?
Nothing, but a tiny seed.
The chamber is empty and cold – it used to be my home.
Your smiling face,
Your cheerful laughter,
Your love…emptiness,
All gone for good.
Losing myself,
In a tidal wave of thoughts and emotions,
Confusion roars in my head.
Too many things coming at once.
All this pain I can’t control.
I get knocked down, and get up again,
But how much longer can I last?
My determination is fading quickly.
I’m pouring crimson regret,
Running down my arm.
I cry for help and forgiveness,
But no one is there.
I’m in a constant battle,
Between Me, Myself, and I.
There is no real winner.
Can anyone break this vicious cycle?
Struggling to go on, with no hope at all,
You came back and grabbed my outreached hand.
I saw a silhouette of you in the bright light,
And knew that you came back home.
Home to my heart,
Where you filled that empty chamber.
My love has returned to me,
I’m finally back home.
She said she planted that seed I found, long ago,
And it has been growing this whole time she’s been gone.
A seed of her love, which will never die,
Has grown its roots deep into my heart.
And now that I fully understand,
Our love is like a seed.
The tears we shed are its water for nourishment,
And we are each other's sunshines, bringing light for it to grow.
