The Jack and The Queen

Heal my heart

Take away the pain

End the misery

Let me fly free.

Come and get me

Lift me up, for I have fallen far behind

Do you know what I go through 

every minute of every day?

Staying worlds apart;

Finding your name on random shores

Tracing your footsteps to where you may be;

You are gone 

And what is left behind is your essence.

I close my eyes and I see your face

I stretch out my hand and all I get is an empty canvas

You have been gone for a long time now, I know 

Yet, Hope refuses to die within me,

something refuses to die within me

I re-trace my footsteps in our History every night

And every night a grey sky responds to me

It asks me why I still believe?

Why don't I let you be a thing of the past?

What difference does it make, love?

I know the answers, your soul knows these answers

We lie somewhere lost in the sand of time,

Thinking of the times that we held hands,

When you weren't such a distant dream,

When worries were unfathomable and the only tears were those of bliss.

I find you in the Moon each night,

You smile, and then slip through my hands

Like sand glistening on a moonlit beach.

You are here but not here;

I am here but not really here.

Love doesn't make sense,

Love doesn't have to make sense;

I am content with this illogical poison

It spreads through my veins, 

Pouring out from my ailing heart,

And renders all my senses useless.

I breathe but only to live,

I see but stopped feeling a long time ago,

I waste hours,

Reminiscing.

I spend hours,

Imagining.

What my life would look like,

Had you not been so far away,

Had it been certain that you would return,

Had you not been gone in the longest time,

And had you not become a stranger all in one day!
