unkept promises

Folder: 
moments in time

The pain of waking up in the morning
and you’re not there how that hurts
not seeing your smile when you open
your eyes this pain I feel it's unbearable
I feel lost and without direction
for you are my guiding light in this ever
present darkness I walk through
but, you are not there to show me the way
to the warmth and tenderness I seek
as I stumble and fall over what seems to be
images of a life I so desperately cling to I can
hear voices faintly in the distance a laughter I
know all too well a memory you promised to keep
hidden from me a pain I wished to never feel again
you PROMISED, as I lay here in wait for the moment
when you take me in your loving embrace I’m reminded that
you’re not there but for some reason the pain i feel
is all too real!
