the way things were

Give me back my hope and sunlight

Give me back the way things were

Let me dream of new horizons

Of waking next to her

  

Let the heavy weight inside me

Just fade then disappear

The blank pages of the book I hold

Carry more than lonesome tears

  

Bless my days once more with faith

And my nights, sweet moments to come

For this agony is haunting me

And my empty heart is numb

  

I recall each kiss so vividly

Every touch of her gentle hand

And the way she whispered “I love you”

  

Through my fingers falls each grain of sand

    You write sad poetry like no other. You have a poetic voice that slices into the reader's heart. Well done!

    Love,

    Love sucks, doesn't it. I like the line about the blank pages of the book... It carries tears and writes upon the pages like a ghost pen. After we process our pain the words magically become visible and we learn what lesson needed to be learned. Then we can turn to the next chapter. 'Tis our Book of Shadows and Light. Keep writing. Good medicine.
