Lost to Me

Emotions fill to overflow
she's gone and I wonder
who I can turn to
when there is no one by my side.

It use to be you, who could rise a smile
just in thoughts until words
could steal them away.
Until  the  lack of touch
was snowed in, snowed out
plowed under and shoveled to the side.

I have no need for space that separates,
for the tormenting I have felt before,
for the games that life plays
always sending me back home, alone
where I am meant to be.

I can't recreate the fantasy world of the Lady,
for her heart was stolen long ago
in pages defined by her Knight
and all that is left is the magic of memories,
the middle of hope
and faith, that all she believes in was seen
through caring eyes
that now have lost their glow...

Words can create
and words can take away...

"Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."
(Will Moss)
