This all came to me over many weeks mainly late at night.
Walking through the halls

Looking at all the faces

Unfamiliar faces

Looking for yours

It’s silly you don’t go here

But I do it anyway

Then a flash

Can it be?

No it is not

Were are you

Somewhere anywhere but here

I know the faces

But I don’t want any of them

I want to see yours

Why are you not here?

Well that is obvious

But can’t you just be here,

Anyway

Can’t god intervene?

You have been gone,

So long

Yet you are still here

Inside



The mind knows you’re gone

But the heart won’t believe it

They work together

Tormenting me still

Forever



How long has it been,

Since you left?

How long since I have gazed,

Upon your perfect face?



Looking next to me

Seeing faces like yours

But they aren’t

It isn’t the same

They talk and chat

To me and others

But their voices just fly past

Because what I am really listening for

Is your voice



I leave and search

The deepest corners of this torture chamber

Nowhere

You just aren’t there





I look in the mirror

“Me?” I say

Yeah right?

But it’s true

Is it not?

Am I worthy

I don’t think so

But you do

And that is what matters.



Cars fly by

Once again I look

Faces, faces

Not yours

I know it,

I know it won’t be there

But

I look anyway


I sit here waiting

For you

Nothing

No feelings

Music plays

I sit

Suddenly

The feelings come

Screaming

Yelling

Tormenting me

They whisper

Reminding me

That I am not with you


An empty seat

I think of you

You could be here

Sitting next to me

But you aren’t

I wish you were


I wait for you

The world is unimportant

Compared to you

This silent prison is torturing me

Only you can save me from it


No one to talk to

No one to listen

No one to hear

No one to listen to

I place it all into the music

It flows from my fingers

I play for you

The songs are yours

They awaken what is inside

These,

Feelings for you

Late at night

At the first of dawn

You are my first thought

You are my only thought

I dream of you

All day

All night

I look for you

People stare at me funny

Have I lost my mind?

Maybe

But I have gained my heart and soul

I have gained my life


You walk past me

A simple glance is all it takes

My heart catches fire

I burn

For you

I cannot control it

It sweeps me away

Then

A touch

Nothing much

But my soul reacts

it takes control

My soul trembles

Earthquakes overtake me

I cannot control it
