Brave Poetry

Lost

How many years have past
Since our fateful day?
I honestly do not know
But I have something to say

I long for you
Yet, as impossible as it seems
My heart is pained with grief
And it's tearing at the seams

I wonder if I'm too far gone now
And what I'm saying: is it true?
There's something deep inside me
That's telling me what to do

I'm trapped inside this prison
This cocoon of pain and woe
And all the while I'm thinking of
You and I just want you to know

I still love you with all my heart
And I hope you'll again feel the same
Perhaps that's wishful thinking
But I'd thought I'd say it plain

I'm sorry, too for what I've done
And how this all came to be
What we had was pure and solid
Now it's a stormy sea

I wish I could open up my mouth
And tell you what I think
I know it would change everything
And we could fix our link

But honey, if there's anything
That I desperately want fixed
It's this uncontrollable wall I have
Which is made of the strongest bricks

If I could only find a way
To somehow tear it down
Then I could live a happy life
And no longer wear a frown

I know so much is happening now
And it's happening all too fast
But I hope that I will obtain a
Happiness that will last

I also hope that we can
Somehow make things right
To find a way through this mess
And step into the light
