For You

The night is still, breathless, void and empty,
Thoughts of you drift to and fro, softly and dreamlike.
I am moved by them and yet for once calm at the same time,
As though my soul has finally found the peace it’s sought for so long.
An understanding settles in, hope dies and life begins again,
I reach out to you one last time praying you understand,
Love hasn’t died, but in order to live I must leave.
You are my dream but now I must awaken.
Reality crashes in and I am empty.
Lost and alone, searching,
Consuming pain fills me,
I weep alone,
For you.
