I can't recall ever feeling so alone I sense the void inside me growing each day Although the distance in between us isn't far It feels like lightyears, anyway... I pass some flowers of the deepest purple hue; I look at them and think of you... When you're away, My thoughts are with you, at your side When you're away, Depression is so hard to hide A man whose spirits die With each unspoken goodbye A night without a day, When you're away My friends console me and keep me company They try to put my mind on other things I'm very grateful, but they'll never understand How much lament your abscence brings... In every daydream, I can see your smiling face It reafirms this empty space... When you're away, My thoughts are with you, at your side When you're away, Depression is so hard to hide A man whose spirits die With each unspoken goodbye A night without a day, When you're away When you're away, I savour every memory When you're away, The blaring silence deafens me It's hard to carry on, When my spark of life is gone... In solitude I pray When you're away. I'm lost within myself Words cannot say All that I feel inside When you're away...

Bad feelings to have, when left alone like this. But hey, we are resilient, right? So many sad days in life, yet the good ones make it all worthwhile. As usual, I relate to this. Sandra |

I hope the person who is "away" realizes how much they mean to you. Very beautifully expressed. Betty Lou Hebert |

Thank you, Sy. Some memories can replay like an endless tape-loop. Ron, thanks for the comments. Yes, Sandra... they do. Resiliance sometimes feels like heavy exercise -- "I can't do it! I CAN'T do it!!"... but sure enough, you do it and are better for it (as long as you don't OVER do it, of course... and how does one really gauge that, anyways???) Thank you, Betty... maybe one day, but it's many chapters past that story, as life would have it, though it remains beyond my understanding... -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

I felt these feelings, Mark. They are never easy to cope with, but somehow we find a way to go on and are usually better for it. I hope you are also.  All writing comes |

Lone Wolf: I think we all do, sometimes. I'm most definitely better for it, for I chose to learn from the experience, channel it constructively into this song/poem, and share it with others who also can relate to something similar in their lives. Thanks for reading and replying. Sven, these words channeled straight from my heart. Thanks for your comments and time. A big, consoling hug to you, Krista -- obviously I know how you feel and am glad that my words touched you, but I hope that those are joyful tears you shed... it was not my intention to open any wounds... -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Thank you for the hug Mark. I can't say that they were tears of joy but perhaps I just need to channel my sorrow into a poem like you have! Poetry can be a great soother of the soul |
