�� Forever September

I lay here beneath my heart's eclipse,��

�� idly remembering a distant time,��

when the sweetest sound was my name on your lips,��

�� and the sweetest touch those lips pressed to mine.��

When your gentle voice would sing to me,��

�� while my body lay in your keeping,��

caressing my soul with your melody,��

�� until you were sure I was sleeping,��

You were my radiant angel to adore,��

�� wrapping me safe in your protective wings,��

You were the prince I had waited for,��

�� in my eyes ranking higher than all kings,��

Our love was like a fairy tale,��

� � and you were my Dream-come-true,��

I never thought that "we" could fail,��

�� or end as all sweet dreams must do.��

But now I live with heart torn asunder,��

�� amidst ghost echoes of our laughter,��

I cannot help but think to wonder,��

�� Where is our happily ever after?��

You left and took away the sun,��

�� with you all life's meaning went,��

Thus my world became undone,��

�� and here in the ruins I lament,��

You returned once more to your quest,��

�� though I still remain confined,��

The journey is always hardest,��

�� on the one who's left behind,��

Like Psyche abandoned by her lover,��

� � I stumble through an endless night,��

My God of Love is beyond recover,��

�� I have been forsaken by the light,��

The word "prince" is like a dagger in my heart,��

�� re-opening a wound that will never heal,��

quickly slashing my tattered soul apart,��

� � just like reality cuts through an ideal.��

An emptiness now fills my days,�

�� which seem unbearably long,��

My spirit wanders in a dismal haze,��

�� having nowhere to belong,��

Your absence weighs so heavily,��

�� dragging me under the waves of despair,��

My heart bleeds relentlessly,��

�� when I awake to find you are not there.��

Lost in this sorrow which never abates,��

�� a sudden realization rushes in,��

My drowning hope finally suffocates,��

�� as I choke on the words "never again."��

Then I know you are gone forever,��

�� yet I am haunted by your spirit,��

and even though I vainly endeavour,��

�� this ghost will not let me forget,��

When I close my eyes in the evening,��

�� I can still feel your vanished embrace, ��

and hear your absent voice whispering,��

�� and imagine your ethereal face,��

So I fall into a soft memory,��

� in your sweet company there I remain,��

sharing once more your green serenity,��

�� while the wind in the grass echoes your name,��

All the world is filled with reminders of you,��

�� Amidst my daily thoughts your figure gleams,��

and when Somnus besprinkles the night with dew,��

�� you dance upon the borders of my dreams.��

Yet the sound of your laughter so fresh,��

�� eludes me whether waking or asleep,��

Your image lacks the fullness of your flesh,��

�� Your spirit is no longer in my keep.��

Your pictures do not return my kisses,��

� � your poems lack the richness of your voice,��

at night, it is your warmth my body misses, ��

�� and I cry to know that leaving was your choice.�

"Gone" echoes in my hollow heart,��

�� which before was filled with memories,��

but once a lover's touch departs,��

�� a soul is never satisfied with these,��

For me, the world can hold magic no more,��

� � because your affections have passed,�

Life has lost the beauty that it held before,��

� � and I question if I can last.��

When all your beliefs have proved untrue,�

� � how can you ever have faith again?��

What hope remains to hold on to,��

� � when the star you wished on has fallen?��

What joy is left once true love is gone?�

� � empty and sad as all the world seems,��

What path is left to wander on,��

� � once you've given up following your dreams?��

Now alone my forsaken heart grieves,��

� � as I face a winter without an end,��

All my joy went with the green leaves,��

� � in a spring that will never come again.��

Yet for all the sorrow that I endure,��

� �not a smile nor a tear would I trade,��

The beauty of the moments I treasure,��

� � is well worth the price I have paid.��

I chose you to give my soul unto,��

�� T'twas a gift I shall never regret,��

for as long as that resides with you,��

�� some part of me will be at peace yet.��

And that fair thought shall be my retreat,��

�� while my body must remain here,��

My memories may taste bittersweet,��

�� though our time together was dear.��

Through all my years as I grow old,��

�� the love that we shared I will always remember,��

And to that long lost dream I'll hold,�

�� In my heart it will be . . . Forever September.��
