Lovelorn to Wait

to find to love
another heart is lost to love
and is it worth the tears?
a blinding light, so divine as you see not
a deepening void, so dark as you see all
the cycle follows
as birth to death,
from love to loss
through life; to feel no more
and what a blessing in disguise, this loss
to sink away from sorrow, and yet away from bliss
and is it worth the pain?
for surely so
else why to give so much,
to give so quick a soul.
why don't I see?
from love to loss,
I fear to blink.
oblivion for but a single moment
this shadow is my greatest fear
for through it I will never see again,
my love, as it once was, in blinding light
my loss, as it will be, a deepening void.
through life; to feel no more
and sleep then, perchance to dream
of time, before my love was lost
of time, to pass, before I love again
Yet, eternity was never there; time is not
for never did I lose my love
my heart is grasped still close by one
'till time when shadows lift
I close my eyes, and wait
to sleep perchance to dream...
