Alone

Out of sight is out of mind
Is that really true, I thought you so kind?
You can forget as time has passed
But for me, the pain remains intense and will always last

I force myself into life, all around me there is still greatness
But like some, I want to retract into the darkness
There's stillness and comfort there
Pulling me in, no more senseless hurt to bear

Days roll into weeks and months with seamless ease
I wander through winds hoping to hear your voice on the swaying trees
I look to the birds and the butterflies, as I draw near they pick up their pace
Too far away now but I'm sure if I look hard enough, I will see your face

The world thinks me crazy, as I talk to no one out loud
My head is up though, desperately straining above the cloud
Do you hear me when I talk to you, do you see me when I falter?
I try to keep busy with things that can be done later

My sadness is buried deep within
My heart heavy and broken, no longer able to sing
One more day, what I wouldn't give
I don't want to but know I must live
