darkness overwhelms me
the sadness I cannot control
my life slowly meeting destruction
the heartache taking its toll

why can't I let go of my sorrow
release the fear and the pain
if only I could feel freee for one day
to be truly happy once again

I felt that happiness once
a time so long ago
when I felt the love of a gentle woman
now her love, I can never show

she touched my heart with angel's wings
showing heaven in her heart
she disappeared now I feel so lost
life without her I want no part

this beauty, this enchantress
who touched my life so dear
I want so much to feel her love
my heart dying each passing year

if only I could show her
how much she means to me
to feel her love once again
I'd give anything to make that be

the angel whom I call my friend
who I love so dear and true
may the future hold the hopes I have
that my love will one day shine through

into her being, my love would go
to mend her lonely heart so cold
I will cherish and protect it so
for me, it's precious as pure gold

to see her gentle smile
to feel her loving touch
to savor every tender kiss
nothing else, I could want as much

so my love, my friend
I make this promise true
my friendship, respect, and true love
for all time, I will have for you

Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

Wow. This is so gentle and wistful. What a beautiful way to express your feelings

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

This was the true sense of the word Longing. It's so hard to befriend someone whom you desire as your love. I feel you have gently given wings to this person and I hope they fly back to you.

Sincerely,
Regina

Ahhh, what tender longing you have expressed here.  A very good, although sad write.  Hugs to you Lonely Shadow.
