Yet again,
A night drempt of you.
How icy you felt,
As you caressed my face.
The tears in my eyes,
Frozen in place.
Felt as if stones had formed,
To anchor me in place.

My eyes fixed upon you're gaze,
Burning through me with such rage.
How had we come this far?
How had we lost who we were?
Answers to these,
Eluded me to this day.
All these years later,
Why couldn't you have stayed?

As my imagination filled the gaps,
On what you were lacking,
I had to find alternatives,
To fill the void you could never seal.
As silence filled the air,
Like a balloon in my chest,
I had no other choice,
But to write my best.

To put my emotions,
And feelings into word,
Because you towered over me.
Intimidated me,
For lack of better words.

Time so quickly slips from us,
As we desend down the rope of life that we cling too,
Into the murky water that is the uncertain future,
I know many years from now,
I'll still remember you.

When I'm old and feeble,
Still clinging on,
But a mear hallow entity,
Of how I was all those years ago,
I pray my mind still gives me a glimpse,
Of what I dreampt you to be.
