Losing Both Of Me


I used to live for what the mighty sun could bring me
Now, I beg the skies to hear her Mama's cries
I'm not even sure I know how to live God's plans these days
I'm just too weak to even look the world in the eyes...

Through the long and narrow I must have walked it a million times
As I sadly pass through the halls of silence and calm
My destination is always her empty room before me
And, each time you'll find me there just reaching on...

So, now it's not a matter of what the mighty sun can hand me
I've lived too long drowning, without her, in this sea of grief
I have never known blue to come in this many shades
God, you just don't know what it's like losing both of me...

I've found pleading on knees doesn't lessen the miles between us
There's just the shell of who I was left in every tear cried
Her silhouette hangs in every imaginable place I see
God, I just have to know how many times must I die?...

I can't rely on the winds to whisper her Mama's words so she'll hear
Can't even rely on the air that I breathe
No faith in the waters that fall that revives all life
For, hope diminished in the middle of losing both of me...

It's agony that surely fills these walking shoes
Misery clings onto any moment it finds to take
Losing both of me leaves a soul without an identity to claim
And, a little life falls with every bit of heart that breaks...

Oh Saunni,
this is so breathtakingly, heartachingly sad and I can't believe it has no replies.
*Heart Hugs* M'dear.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

the rain
from pouring down
can't stop the
world from turning 'round
can't stop me from
loving you
no matter
what you do"

Sauni, yes, I understand. And you know that my tears cry with you. Try to make it through one day at a time. A brighter day is coming. Each day is closer to that brighter day. The rain cannot last forever. Hold my hand. I will wait and cry with you. I love you, Sauni.
