Without your voice
The words that so freely flow from my pen
Become trapped like a fly in a spiders web
Swallowed by fear of the unknown
And longing for your soft touch
Happiness has begun to fade
As I am reminded that these are not bright days
Safety is not certain
Days are long and hard
Nights sometimes sleepless
Without your voice nightmares lurk
In the shadows of the setting sun
To most four months isn't all that long
But in our world it feels like forever
Letters and phone calls only numb the pain
Fear becomes suspended for a short time
Some ask why bother?
Why not find someone new?
The mere thought sickens me
You had me from hello
I fell so fast
I'm still lying flat on my back
Starry-eyed and dumbfounded
Addicted to the sweet love
You have filled me with
Such depth, intelligence, passion and grace
You truely are a gift from God
A precious gem
That others were fools to let go
I wish there were enough words
To pour my heart out
To explain every last emotion
But there are none
When asked if the sadness, fear and longing
Are really worth it
Without missing a beat the answer is always
Yes
When the jaws of life clamp down harder
Threatening to kill every bit of hope
Love is the only tool that will pry us free
This heart is yours come what may
Time will try our patience
And test the strength of our love
But if we hold tight to what we were given
We will always prevail
