Painful Past
As the sun kisses the morning sky
And the moon whispers a sad good bye,
As the birds sing a sweet morning hello
And the ocean is calm and mellow.
The grass has been kissed by the morning due,
And seeing all of this brings me memories of you.
Sweet yet painful memories
Slowly build up inside of me.
Your face appears deep in my mind,
And I know I’ll never find another of your kind.
Painful past and future untold,
My sorrows have swelled and can’t be controlled.
My story now is long and old
And many parts of it won’t be told.
Never again will I make such a mistake,
Chances that were so ignorant to take.
Time has passed since you’ve been gone,
And it is your memory I carry on.
Strong I must be,
And strong I must fall,
I shall pretend your not gone at all.
No, your not gone your just away,
And so I wait longing to see you soon some day.
So much anger, so much pain,
I search for serenity but serenity I never obtain.
Your memory I cannot hide,
And a fire burns fierce deep inside.
How long is forever and where does it end?
I suppose where time and eternity meet and blend.
If forever is eternity and so it maybe,
Then forever it is you I long to see.
Alone without you I wish not to be,
And why you had to leave is a mystery.
Oh why must this be?
Why can’t it end?
It is your memory on which I depend.
How long will I grieve?
How long must this last?
Why can’t I just forget my painful past?
