Restlessly stirring, my brain pulls her in again

To dance her dance within the confines of this place.

Holding within her grasp tiny shreds of light beaming from our past.

Left alone now to wander the dark caverns of my mind,

to dance their sweet dance and sing their sweet rhymes.

Again and again and time after time.

I know that there is someone else. I know it through and through.

Yet I find myself still asking the same question, asking for the truth.

When will you come for me; release me from this pain?

When will I be remembered for everything I am?

And damn it, I still cry watery empty tears.

But from this day forward, those tears will not be hers.

They’re mine in all their glory sent to wash away my fears.

Was it worth it? All the pain, now left with just the stain.

This love soaked sleeve-just a tattered rag and a heart shaped hole remains.

Blessed are those who mourn but rise up just the same.

Blessed are those who love and loose and fear not to love again.

I’ll give my last breath to see this smile, this joy pour over you, friend.

I’ll dance for you to find me forever, forever till the end.
