Listening to the rain outside, up against the glass I saw a shadow in the hall, I saw it walk right past It made its way into the room where I last saw your face The last time there was laughter in this God forsaken place My glass of wine fell to the floor, my heart began to pound I listened hard to hear your voice but there was not a sound I clear my eyes and look around to see if it was you You’re standing right in front of me, I don’t know what to do I try to talk, no words come out, my tears they start to fall You’re looking at me longingly, your name I try to call You do not speak, you do not laugh, you do not even cry I look into your deep blue eyes and try to ask you why Why you left me like you did, and what am I to do This life I live is not a life, especially without you The tears I cry, I cry for you, it’s so hard to go on Just knowing that you’ll not be back, you are forever gone A lightning flash, a clash of thunder bring me to my senses I'm all alone without you here and utterly defenseless The day I laid you in the ground my life was buried too It won’t be long, you have my word, I’m coming back to you. |

The phantoms sometimes visit me as well. The emotion in this was vivid. I saw it and I felt it. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Thank you for posting this one here, I remember finding this at a time when someone was lost forever, and feeling as your character. I had hoped time would change that feeling, time doesn't always heal. You capture moments in time so well. |
