The Long Road Home

Life became hollow when your spirit left this world.
My heart is cold, empty and weak without you.
The light that once shined, has surrendered to darkness.
Winds carry my cries far beyond the horizon.

I stand at the edge of a cliff, my mind confused and numb.
Salty tears stain my face, as I stare at the ground below.
Mother Nature caresses me with warm breezes, hoping to ease my mind.
I’m faced with the pain of living without you.

My knees tremble with fear, and I feel my heart beat faster.
For a moment the air is still and filled with silence.
Thoughts of you race through my head, as fate renders its decision.
With a single step, I back away; the Reaper will not claim me.

The road ahead is long, and I’ll travel it alone.
My quest for answers will probably lead to more questions.
I hunger for your soft touch and a kiss to ease the pain.
One day God will reunite us, and we shall dance again.

Until that moment comes, my soul will bear the loss.
I will not take my own life; doing so would seal my fate.
It would banish me to Hell, full of torment and deceit.
Any chance of ever feeling your warm embrace would die.

Years have gone by, and my will has grown weaker.
Answers never came, and my mind was full of doubt.
I was ready to give up and put an end to my misery.
That was not to be, as I received a sign of hope.

A single drop of rain fell, landing softly on my cheek.
Was that a kiss from you, to remind me of your love?
Tears filled my eyes, and I felt a sense of peace.
I found the strength to go forward, with your light guiding my way.
