the longing

[sunsetdeath]

i have drifted,
the happiness of my heart rolls back and forth
as the waves crash on the beach.

As lovers walk out on the jetty,
kiss and then walk away never to be together again.
the last cold embrace of two that shall never again be truly happy.
the longing and the constant sadness that has replaced the love in my heart,
the love that once loomed for you.

the love that once used to make my day flow
the love that always provided me with sunshine as I awoke,
a light that guided me to gardens of roses, ponds and ducks

did you believe me when I said I cried
whenever I awake from my dreams and realise once again that we are not together
I believed in us, I believed in us enough for both
I envisaged a love so tender and pure, such sweet l'amour
but I could not convince you, you didn't share my dream
and now it has ended....
it cannot be mended.

every shower is cold,
every rose cuts me and I bleed,
while my heart is finally free'd.
