The stars still shine
The sun continues to rise
Snow covers the deadened land
All is well at home
Tears will always dry
The wounds will one day heal
Emptiness takes a holld of the heart
Yet all is well at home
Come in from the cold
Rest your weary bones
Close your eyes to the pain
All is still well at home
No fires blaze tonight, my dear
Your heart can no longer burn
I must go to the only place I have
All will be right at home
Days pass
Tasting your lips
Remembering your touch
Every word
Each lonigng glance
Echoes in my heart
Hanging on to nothing
Staring into the dark
Stars shine
With less vibrancy
Coldness creeps
Into every corner
Nights no longer
Provide me with fire
Desire and passion
Memories of yesterday
One touch
One kiss
Was never enough
You walked away
with tears in your eyes
Leaving me here alone
Aching for your touch
Only yesterday
you held me close
Now you've bowed down
releasing me from your grasp
I sit hear waiting
wanting and needing
Yellow sun to shine
to warm my face
The butterfly is unable to survive
the coldness of winter
It withers in the night
Colored wings agianst white snow
Your eyes no longer
covet my soul
Words spoken in the wind
forgotten and unheard
I look to you for solace
all happiness and smiles
Laughing in whimsy
to the rythm of my aching heart
echoes of yesterday
chase me in my mind
I take a breath
and hold on tight
to every moment
spent with you
shadows of lost time
glimpses in a mirror
silver lace veils my eyes
I turn to run
to return to you
empty hours pass slowly
dying embers of our fire
burn my skin
a lonely garden
withers and dies
and you are not here
Whispers of words
no longer spoken
Desire of passion
no longer allowed
Ask me to walk away
Tell the rain no to fall
Demand the sun not rise
Force the wind not to blow
Do all of this and more
I will still be standing here
Once passion
stood as a friend
Close companions
desire on his side
Now they mock
laughing as I pass
Turning their backs
I now stand alone
Staring out the window
at an unfamilar world
Blue skies and butterflies
disappear with the wind
Imposing clouds loom
at the front door
Deafening thunder
chases away the music
Laughter echoing in rooms
belonging to another
Smiles reflected in the mirror
uncertain and forlorn
Dreams of yesterday
washed away with the rain
Hope for tomorrow
swept under the rug
Details and decisions
suffocating the girl
Attempts at a life
no longer her own
I now know with certainty
It was all lies and deceit
Mere trickery of the heart
I was a trivial plaything
A distraction from life
How simple and perfect for you
I was always within reach
And so easy to throw away
That power was yours alone
You chose to be blind to my pain
Turning away from what you left
With such elegant grace and ease
Thank you for all you've done
Unraveling my broken heart
And abondoning me along the way
staring at the broken headlight
waiting for it to finally burn out
beautiful flickers of white radiance
cascade the night with its dance
hours, days, months, years pass
still the broken light shines on
alone in the rain
never-ending and burning bright
