When?
In a month … maybe two… a year… maybe two
Wounds would calm down
Would ease… and go to sleep… maybe even pass away
My wound is not the same
The size of my wound
Bigger than scope of space
The age of my wound
Older than time
Good-bye years of happiness
Sweet dreams
Genuine smiles
Good-bye my life
Good-bye my love
Sweetheart
I see you… far… far away… out of my reach…
I gasp for you
On the brink of insanity I linger
Broken… lonely… remnants of a woman I sit and wait
Sweetheart
I see you far… far away… out of my reach…
I see you with my heart
With my soul
With my love
I see your hands
Your smile… your laughter
Your words… your voice
Your gaze… your brow
Sweetheart
I see you far… far away… out of my reach…
Aimless… breathless… on the path of insomnia that I never took before
I race
Every step without you is blind darkness
Every move… a wobbly venture
Every blink… an aborted dream
Every heartbeat… a paradise lost
Every breath I take is a craving new wound
Sweetheart
The night of longing has spread its wings out
Over a yearning wounded woman
Aching to see
An end
To all this pain
