The Heaven of You
A poem of mourning the heartbreak of a dead relationship

The Heaven of You

In each dream that I dream it’s all over
All the pain that I feel left behind
But the truth in each lie’s just a token
Of a heart lost which I’ll never find

In your eyes I saw both our futures
Reflecting love I hoped could never die
Though in the darkness I knew that I’d always lose you
Drowning in the tears that I cry

With the sun rose the day I’d been fearing
For I knew as you held me by the hand
That the dream of my world was all over
A cruel blow I could never withstand

You told me that one day I’d be happy
Someone else would come and take your place
But still to this day I live with the dismay
Of paths travelled I’ll never retrace

So tonight as I lie here alone now
Thoughts of us now apart kill my mind
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be
Still that’s a place I know I’ll never find
