Missing You

There was a time when I could look at the stars

and find myself lost in their mystery.

There was once a place where I could lay my burdens

and set my mind in restful ease

But my heart was never quite content

my soul a canvass void of quaint design

your love became such a strength in me

so unaware of how alone i was inside

Suddenly the colors came alive as if

seeing through a curious infant's eyes

The bird that sung outside my bedroom window

still brings forth a memory of you and I

But now you have been away some time

and my broken heart pretends to beat

I feel a void begin to echo from deep within

sifting through my thoughts like letcherous beast

The colors have faded and the bird that sung

outside my window has not graced me in so long

and when I try to find that memory, I only find

to have forgotten that sweet melodic song

A dark and clenching fear a burden I cannot resolve

a torturous moment lets each minute pass

none can see the scars that breach

through this empty shell still soar from recent past

From the bottom of my dying heart, I miss you

But as I look inside you would not smile at what you'll find

In missing you, I have lost myself too.
