Looking For Words

I search my mind,I search my heart
Looking for words,not knowing where to start
Was there something I said I shouldn't
Words I didn't say because I couldn't
Are the words beyond my scope
What words would bring you near,give me hope
I never asked for anything,but I was wanting
Now I close my eyes your face still haunting
For over a decade you were the only one
The one that ment something,not just for fun
Looking for words,that's my stock and trade
Words saying I still think of you,I'm afraid
I gaze at a picture you sent along time ago
Behind them eyes someone I never got to know
I was never aware you held the upper hand
For years I've stood alone,made my stand
Life was fun,emotions flickered through as I run
Then you were there like a bright hot rising sun
Did you know,did you not know,did you want to
Looking for words,saying a part of me went with you
