My eyes shut, little lights swimming among the darkness
and your face comes to me,
I look at you and I smile and everything seems to be okay.
This image, within my mind, is all I have left of you,
and it's starting to fade,
blurring at the edges,
wisps of you becoming lost into the blackness...
lost within my memories.
Each day my heart pangs,
pangs with guilt and pain...
knowing that you, the only woman I've ever loved,
are gone...
gone.
And it's my fault you're gone,
my heart weeps for you,
aches for you...
never will it feel complete without you,
other people fill the gaps...
but, there's a space reserved just for you,
my love,
just for you.
Carrying you in my arms,
kissing your sweet neck,
memories gnawing at my heart,
stinging my eyes.
I never gave up on you my love,
I never let go,
during every moment I was with you.
I destroyed you,
but, we made each other complete,
a bitter irony,
that cleaves my heart in two.
But, shush now darling...
because my love will always be with you,
you, the woman I love.

Very touching, it is a bitter sweet love this one is. I hope you too will stay away from the drugs. Thank you, and good luck.
