~ Beyond the Pain ~

~~~

My life’s been sad and lonely
living day to day
reminiscing of the ways that we’ve embraced

Your tender body swaying
to the rhythms of a song
would kindle fiery fervors deep within me

What happened to those times
when our lips embraced with joy
and your eyes implored the rapture of my ravage?

Without you I feel empty
as I plunder through my days
living life as if you don’ t exist

The emptiness is heavy
it’s a burden on my soul
how’d I blunder into living life without you?

Words seem almost useless
I can’t explain the way I feel
I’d give the world to win your love again

If I could only find the fortitude to get beyond the pain

~

I make it through each day
but I really don’t know how
there’s no magic in the air without your smile

Without the throbbing of your heart
to undulate with mine
it’s a miracle I ever fall asleep

You think I live without you
but I’m just an empty shell
my spirit doesn’t smile behind my face

I hunger for your touch
and long to feel the warmth
of the essence of the core of your existence

Without you in my life
sunlight has no meaning
and the moon is but a frigid orb of light

The universe is futile
there’s no excitement in my soul
I’d give anything to hold you once again

If I could only find the fortitude to get beyond the pain

~

What to do from here?
As the sands of time persist
to summon for the receipt of our demise

Can we live our lives again?
Or is this our only chance
to share the love and laughter of our souls?

If only words could speak
of the passions that we feel
I would tell you what I wish that you could know

I would touch the essence of your spirit
the quintessence of your soul
and engorge you with the pleasures of delight

My frustrations are unending
in a life without you near
I’ve denied us both eternal satisfaction

I take full responsibility
for the pleasures that we’ve missed
I’d do whatever needs be done to change our fate

If I could only find the fortitude to get beyond the pain
