Alone ~
This lonely walk
along a rocky shore
Brings me little pleasure
anymore.
For I must walk alone my dear
Simply because you are not here.
Through each day that passes
slowly by
I feel no joy, but then, I know
why.
I can't hear your laugh or see
your smiles
For the distance between us is
many miles.
When evening comes; sun setting
in the west,
My thoughts of you become my
only guest.
As the shadows slowly lengthen
bit by bit,
It is here, all alone now, that
I finally sit.
This is when my thoughts will
turn to you.
The longing I feel is
overwhelming, it's true.
My arms feel so empty and I need
you here.
For you are my love, the one I
hold dear.
I know it is not your fault
you're so far away.
That you are well and happy is
what I pray.
Only with that can I find peace
in my heart
For my love does not falter
because we're apart.
