Your Out Of Body Experience
I reach my hand out,
Deep into the dark,
I feel for you.
Even the slightest touch,
The slightest brush,
Anything to know.
Are you still there?
Are you still here with me?
Are you still alive to me?
And then a light,
A bright shine,
Far away from me.
I see you,
A glimpse of motion,
The shine of your eyes.
I see your back,
As you turn away,
And the light is gone.
Where are you?
Did you leave?
Did you slip back into the dark?
I scream out to you,
I hear only one response,
My own voice echoing back.
Pain fills my core,
My eyes well up,
It's too much to take.
Why are you leaving me here?
Are you leaving for good?
Why are you leaving yourself behind?
I cannot walk away,
For fear you will return,
Only to find me gone away.
So I will wait,
Here in the dark,
For you to come back.
I can feel your heat,
The warmth of your body,
But you are gone.
You left yourself behind,
And went into the light,
Without me and you.
You're pushing me away,
When I want to be there,
And you don't want anyone.
Am I good enough to you not to be just anyone?
Am I good enough to be special?
Am I good enough to stand out to you?
I will wait in this spot,
Until the earth and the stars,
Are just a distant memory.
I will wait,
Until humankind is wiped away,
And I am left alone.
With your body here,
That I will guard safely,
Until your return.
I will still reach my hand out,
Deep into the dark,
I will still look for you.
I will still be here,
I will be here for only you,
Whenever you decide to return to me.
The only question I have,
Deeply pondered in me,
Is will you ever return?
Am I important enough,
Am I good enough,
Or will you leave me here?
Must I suffer,
Alone in darkness,
For the black abyss of eternity?
I cannot feel for you much longer,
If you leave only your body,
For me to feel for.
Without emotion,
Without thoughts or concern,
You left yourself.
I need to know you,
I need to love you for who you are,
Not a memory of who you once were.
But it is that memory,
I keep inside me,
That moves me forward in time.
Do you feel for me?
Do you love me?
Do you care for me as you so once said?
Only time will tell,
As I lie in the dark,
And wait for you.
A memory of that smile,
Of the shine of your eyes,
Is what moves me forward.
Not the warmth I feel,
From the souless body,
You left so far behind you.
How long can I wait?
Is this enough to keep me moving forward?
Is it enough to beleive you will someday return?
I will wait as I said,
I will keep my word,
And time will tell if what you say is truth.
