Turning
back the hands of time
Holding onto misty memories
Searching for some kind of happiness
Living in a fantasy.
Shadows in the corners of my mind
Remnants of words spoken a long time ago
Visions of places we once loved
Continuing to feel the blows.
Clinging to the past so hard
Never wanting to let go
Wallering in all this self-pity
And always feeling so low.
Insurmountable obstacles
Debris left along the wayside
Torturing myself everyday
Pulling back from living so as to hide.
Sleepless nights and loneliness
There seems to be no end
Reaching for you all the time
Continuing to shun my friends.
Existing is what I continue to do
Since death took you away
My tears have created a chasm
That's protecting me to this day.
Missing you is more than I can bear
I pray for the Lord's guiding light
I ask him to please ease my pain
And allow me to sleep this night.
