One night at a time

Seething, slowly, lost and alone
The vaccum within fills up with pain
The ache in my heart, so bittersweet..

You were here a moment ago...
In my arms, where I still long for you to be
Your warmth still lingers on my skin
And I can still catch your scent on the air

I lay again, alone, gazing upon the cieling, which does not change
My thoughs drift back, a few moments ago, a few hours..
And then back farther....
I sigh for what is lost, for what I still wish for with each breath

The ache stays.. a silent cry agaist your absence,
And I lie awake, watching the time pass by,
No tears do I shed, though my heart, it does cry
I know I will see you again, know that even though you are not mine....
The future remains to be written...

So now I sigh once more, closing my eyes on the darkness
My senses betray me, my longing giving them license,-
And I resign myself to solitude for another night
I succumb to my exhaustion, drifting into sweet sleep

There at least, I can hold you, and feel your lips on mine once more

Taking my seclusion from that which I desire, one night at a time.
