Missing You Like My Own Heartbeat

 

 

 If you shall look for me, please hurry

Life no longer feels the same

With godspeed I am dying

having only visions of when we were

 

 

 

You left me with no promise of return

Since then, I have found it hard to breathe

The savored air once available to my lungs

is now filled with toxic poison

 

 

 

Light which once guided my way

has died with no ember left of hope

The storms no longer bearable

are sure to wash me away

 

 

 

I can see the reaper

and smell death upon his breath

He is close and I know

he is coming for me

 

 

 

You are my heart, and without one's heart,

living is just a dream

My dreams bring nightmares,

and with you gone, no life for me exist

 

 

 

So in this darkened storm, with poison in the air,

the reaper breathes heavily upon my soul

In this corner,  fallen on my knees,

I am praying for you to return...praying to live

 

 

 

Please shine your light and filter the air

Bring me my heart and dance me through this storm

Dance me out of death

to life with you again

      Thank you. I do need a hand from a friend at times. It's good to know it's there.
