I keenly feel the distance between us,
Where once you were there
A movement of color around my skin.
Now there is unseen hands in my hair,
A silent good-bye.
I stand alone when once you were here,
Always to my right, unspoken.
Now the silence that you left
Is like the death of a goddess.
My lack of innocence drowns
Calling forth faults and damnation
I overlook this cliff,
My own that I made with time.
My own misery,
My own creation that I now must bare.
A beautiful nightmare.
There is now beautiful valley.
There is water, deep and dark.
The abyss that I feared so much.
The one that was more deadly in the soul.
Green eyes search for some light.
You were my light
And I have forgotten
The paces to your feet
Numerous,
The lengths of my journey,
numbered.
I am now only the wind,
I live above the water,
I am lacking innocence,
but carry it in dark eyes.
I smile, but never in my soul.
