A Tragic Story

Grief

It seems like only yesterday you were standing at my door
Your face held a smile, but countless fears and worries your heart bore,
You thought I wouldnt be able to make out the sorrow mirrored in your eyes
But I know you too well; nothing you do will ever hide your disguise.
A thousand words can never explain what anguish I have gone through
We were like two inseparable birds, but ones gone; away she flew,
Your left me with a space inside my soul, a space that can never be filled
And now I have to take one day at a time; my life Im trying hard to rebuild.
But the memories of you arent always easy to hold back
Sometimes I feel my life falling apart; one thing or another it does lack,
Im just a small boat on the ocean; all alone here Im seated
Everywhere I looked for you as it sank, but my eyes were constantly defeated.
Why did He you away from me; what did I do so wrong?
It took an eternity for us to get to know each other; it took so long,
And now its been destroyed; in a heartbeat, in a moment, in a second
I guess we just werent good enough for the game of life, my friend.
All night and day, my eyes searched only for you, but you were never there
Cries of helplessness were only heard by the darkness, no one left to care,
Memories of you are etched into my heart; never will they leave
Talking to your photo all night long; that youre gone, my soul will never conceive.
If you look inside my heart, you can see a thousand cuts played by the knife
They are reminders to the world what I have gone through; the distress, the strife,
Happiness has never entered my life since the day you went away
Tears have been my only companion; there is nothing left to say.
If you were here with me today, oh how different my life would be
But never again will that day come, because God snatched you away from me,
I hope you think of me every day, just like I think of you
And together, in our dreams, well sail the oceans blue.
* * *
I can see you all alone; youre hiding your grief and pain to everyone
But the stars and the heavens know the truth; theres nothing that can be done,
Tears constantly running down your face that is reflected onto my own
But its not my fault; I guess that my time was up; Im sorry I cant phone.
I know our life was going so well, and it was over so quickly
So much arranging of our lives; why do you look so sickly?
Please dont fall ill for my sake; I cant go through with it anymore
Why did all this happen to us? What evil did any of our hearts bore?
My life has been smashed to a million pieces; who can put them back together?
All scattered around the game of love; I dont know how to join them; I dont remember,
Im giving my life to you today; I hope it will be safer in your hands
And that is why God has taken me in; I have enough belief that you will understand.
And if for any reason, any doubts happen to come in you mind
Just remember that my own heart pines for you; my eyes will forever try to find,
My breath still lingers with your fragrance; nothing will ever compare
To those days that I spent with you; they will stay with m even if my heart is bare.
Staring down from the clouds, I can see you mind going astray
What are you thinking of? You said there was nothing left to say,
But I had so many things I wanted to tell you; I never got the chance
Just one more minute if were together, we could have had that final dance.
But life was all over for me; it took just one second, a just a single heartbeat
I left you crying at my side, but always remember, for you my heart still beats,
You may think that Im far away, but to me, your presence is really quite near
Just reach out that little bit further and you will see my face, showing no fear.
Nights spent in loneliness; no one to comfort me from lifes jeopardies
Tossing and turning in my own boat surrounded by nothing but open seas,
How will I ever reach home again? Home safely back to your comforting smile?
I tried to call to you many times, but you never heard me; your number I tried to dial.
Ill try to break the barriers down between us; I promise I will never give up
And when the day arrives and I see your smiling face; how my heart will jump,
But until that day comes, please hold on and be strong; always face your fears
Taking a step just one day at a time; time waits for no one, but you are almost here.
