Bequest Of Lyre

Requite, seems the aura of found
While devotion hums

May I know the answers,
If the questions frame my face,
And the ringlets of my hair curve your fingers?

This tender time of change, comes in gulps

Requite is the fading of hope, its echo soft

It is my heart that struggles
To let go for your sake

Even as the gentle sounds, in threads of sunset
Slip across my upturned palms
I am compelled to grasp them

Swing out into the unknown
Wanting to find the warmth of your body there
To greet me in the wise smile of a breaking day

And I fight myself
Striking at my own armor
A sword of tears leaving rusty hull
To fill into the music and sink of the waves

I love you too much to ever cause you harm
Yet, to lose you is more death than I can bear

So I implore God, and I dig into the deeper recesses
For the strength to change my mind, to change my heart
Another song, a new expression and direction

What I cannot see, heals slowly in its lilt
Hoping you will know, I reside in the deeper seas
Of always you

There is is always alot of difficulty surviving the pain of losing someone that is still out there.  I think most people can relate with this and the whole issue of missing someone but wanting to stick to a decision about what is best.   Great effort here!
