The Withering Heart...

The Withering Heart.... 

I cannot live without you or can I?

Do I have meaning in life without you or don’t I?

Are we part of a conscience unified?

Or are we parts of life soon to be put aside?

I found my lost peace & lost the pain of life with you

I never thought I’d be able to ease & gain in life without you.

What is the relationship we share?

Is it possible that this distance it will bear?

Distance they say makes the heart grow stronger!

But my actions have forced me to search for you and ponder!

I live my life just for you.

I’ve been told but, I should be selfish too…

I’ve wished no moment of life without you!

But what I’ve done makes me feel this dread will come true.

Madly in love I’ve said no breath shall escape my lips without your name

Sadly I see that anxious is my heart for you that dips and only I’m to blame.

I sit out here at the sea watching the stars in the sky so dark and blue.

But my moon is missing, I don’t know where it’s gone, I have no clue.

In each ripple and wave,

I see your smile, I see your face.

The rain that falls may hide my tears,

But only I know what my heart truly fears.

In every gust of wind and breeze,

I miss your hug, I tend to freeze.

Friends I’ve had made many back home,

Friends I’ve made a few on these shores.

Restless is my mind devoid of action,

Fearful is my heart of losing our attraction.

Time is said to heal the wounded,

But all I see it do to me is peel and pound it.

Life is a lovely game with you, so I play it,

Let’s see how long I manage to stay in it?

“Because I live, you shall live also” (John 14:19).

We need to endure the changing world around us that’s dark and insecure;

To help us view the present as a passing episode, a brief encounter on life’s short and troubled road.

For the fact that life is eternal in a world of sin and strife, nothing but a steppingstone to a new and better life!

A promise was made to walk the infinite miles in faith, hope & belief and all that was asked is a promise to walk back at least.

We need not show how we feel; we need not show how true is the reel.

Promises made are meant to be kept, and when we don’t all we've done is cribbed and wept

We cannot say that in life we won't face any problems, but I surely can say that you won't face them alone!

Now it's up to you. No matter what you decide to do, I'll always be here for you.
