That familiar pain
In my chest today,
The same ache again
That seems here to stay.
A dull stabbing pang
Gnawing deep inside,
Where once songbirds sang,
And ambition vied.
So much now has changed,
Being without you;
Heart cells rearranged
To let longing through
Truest words spoken,
I now realize,
Hearts can be broken,
For here my grief lies.
At times, when asleep,
Brief respite I find,
As, dreaming, I keep
My great loss from mind.
But then my lids part,
And I grow aware,
When yearning restarts,
That you are not there.
I long for that night
I’ll sleep on and on,
And follow the light
To where you have gone.
