Floating gently on a cloud....

“I AM”

I am a freak with an abnormally large heart.
I wonder why you have torn me apart.
I hear your voice echoing in my mind.
I see your smile, so gentle and kind.
I want to go right back to the start.
I am a freak with an abnormally large heart.

I pretend you are here, now, sitting with me.
I feel your presence driving me crazy.
I touch empty air as I reach out for you.
I worry that I’ve lost you, whatever I might do.
I cry at night, the pain won’t let me be, as
I pretend you are here, now, sitting with me.

I understand your need to be far from me now,
I say it’s alright, it will be ok someday, somehow.
I dream of a time when once again we will be friends,
I try my best to embrace all that life to me sends.
I hope that one day you and I can make a fresh start.
I am a freak with an abnormally large heart.
