alone

today i felt alone, i awoke alone,

touched your side but alas,

only cold greeted my searching hands,

fear griped me as i sat up,

my heart beat erratically,

where are you?

my other half,

my soul, body and mind are empty,

without you am incomplete.

i accept my mistakes, i was wrong to doubt you,

come back and remove this lonileness.

i await your return, every thought on you,

i know you still need me , as much as i need yopu.

don't let pride part us,

let's find each other again

looking up i see you, look at me,

he turns but faces away, anguish present on my face,

tears stream down my face,

like a river i let them fall, have i lost it all,

turn to me i silently plead with my eyes, his hand moves,

but as he turns towards me , his hand stills mid way,

his face reflects the sorrow i feel, how can one moment of happiness end,

tarnished like the ashes in the fire place.
