Long ive waited

Long Ive waited
To hear your voice
The joyous triumph
Of what was once.

The tears strung down,
From swollen eyes,
And a broken heart,
For a vanished smile.

One quiet night,
Amid my dreams,
I heard your voice,
I saw your smile.

A laughter clear,
A touch so warm,
How can it be?
That you’re still gone.

Yet in my hurt,
I am secured,
For from your pain,
You are now unchained.
