Timeless And Eternal

My heart is filled with love for you, but my arms are empty
Such a cruel twist of fate to put so many miles between us
The feelings are as strong and real as if you were here by my side
As I know you are, always, in spirit
The short bits of time we get to spend together
Only reinforce the certainty that what we have is timeless
The knowledge, without doubt, that it is eternal
I would not trade this for all the treasures of the world
And yet, tonight, my heart cries out in loneliness
Knowing that yours does, as well, is not comfort, but torment
But torment will turn to joy when once again I hold you in my arms
Though it be but for a short space of time, then we will part again
The short while that we are in the heaven of each other's company
Will carry us throught the weeks, and months, of hades until we're together
again
Secure in the knowledge of our absolute commitment
Never doubting each other, or our love, but cursing the separation
As I do tonight, when my heart cries out so desperately for yours

Desert Sands

I look to the horizon
And it seems so very bleak
No oasis to be seen
And my will to live grows weak
As long as you were with me
I could brave the desert sands
I had the strength to conquer
No expedition too grand
But now you're gone, I'm alone
And it all just seems too much
I long for your company
And I hunger for your touch
The hot sands of the desert
Will cover me where I sit
Swallow me forever, and
That will be the end of it
No one will mourn my passing
No one will know I am gone
And I would rather go than
Live forever, here, alone

Dreary Existence

My heart is bleak and empty
There is no life left in it
There is no love, no hope
It's beat but a dull thud
The feel of it hitting my chest wall
My only sign that I still live
If one could call it life
Though it is no life to me
Only a dreary existence
And I wish only for it to end

You Made Me Believe

When my soul was at its nadir
You reached down in to the depths of my misery
And taught me how to love again
You gave me a reason to live
Showed me that hope does still exist
You made me believe in angels
And I am your for as long as you will allow

Time Drags By

The time drags by
My heart hurts so
I need you here
And you, I know
Wish I were there
We must endure
This time apart
Though I'm not sure
That I can take
Much more of this
It hurts too much
And how I miss
The way your hand
Feels held in mine
The way you smile
How, every time
Your eyes light up
At sight of me
The way I feel
As part of "we"
But then again
If that's the cost
That we must pay
Then all's not lost
For inside me
Your love holds strong
And it will, no
Matter how long
We are apart
The bond will stay
And grow in strength
Til comes our day
