Chasing Something You Can't Have

Searching for air
under the dark blue sea
as my lungs fill with
waves of pain and misery.

Tears mix with the ocean's salt
as my heart breaks in two.
One as me,
the other as you.

Oh, how I miss the carefree days,
the ones running with the sun,
though our adventures at night
were always the most fun.

I miss your laugh,
as the waves standstill in your absence.
The clouds cry out for you,
shouting and pouring their tears into the blue.

Oh, how I miss you.
The world's no longer vivid,
the sun dimmed, and the grass dead.
Without you here,I'd rather stay in bed.
Away from the memories
that haunt my head.

I miss your smile,
the only sunshine
that could shine through my fog.
You promised you wouldn't be gone long.

So, why did you leave?
Now I lay, all alone,
only covered by
my cloud of sorrow.

You said it was forever,
so why am I here,
and you are lost
in the sand of drear?

How could you leave me here,
all alone?
Nowhere to run to,
nowhere to go.

You were my home,
and my compass.
Where do I go,
if your arrow cannot show?

You were my light.
That's why the sun hangs low.
She misses your smile, too,
so why would her rays' glow?

How can I go on
without you by my side?
You were my forever,
my ride or die.

I long for you
as my heart breaks in two.
Will you come back to me?
Or must I go to you?
