Missing Pieces
I see the darkness of my soul
The loneliness amplified by the night
Never thought I'd feel such calamity
Soon nothing but the feeling of apathy.
Then a hand reaches out for me as I fall
Saving me from the serpentine path of emptiness
A path of endless darkness and loneliness and guilt
A path where eternal sorrow resides and none escape.
The hand takes hold of mine, freeing me from despair
I felt its strength, its warmth as it held me tightly
I thought I would never feel this way, ever in my life
But this hand showed me all the possibilities life has to offer.
The sun shone upon the face of my saviour
Instantly I fall into a deep trance of tranquility
Enthralled by his beautiful azure eyes and smooth skin
I gaze into them losing all sense of reality and drowning in his eyes.
He lifts me up with a kind smile
A smile that can alter any emotion to joy
I longed to feel his soft lips upon mine own
To feel his hot breath flowing upon my skin.
I found myself running my fingers through his silky brown hair
As he carried me off into the night, from the sorrow that plagued me
My other hand felt the strong features of his handsome face to see
To see if he was truly real and not but an illusion created by my mind.
He placed me upon a bed of feathers and held my hand
He caressed my forehead and whispered into my ears
Everything would be ok now that he was here with me
Here to be by my side and love me, never would he leave me
It was then that I found the perfect piece of my empty being
The piece that would fill in the hole that caused my sorrow
Never again would he leave me he said as his lips touched my face
All that was wrong was lifted from me, lightened my heart.
