A poem written for the love I lost |
Take Me Away Tonight A quiet evening alone to lock myself away, So I can begin to find a way to let myself, let go of you Since I’m finding the nights are so hard now If I try to tell myself I’m not in love with you Because every time I try to close my eyes, The only thing I can see is your beautiful face Reminding me Of the man I used to be So as I stand outside in this cold winters wind Longing for the storm which will numb my heart For the deeper I stare into your eyes I see how vibrantly clear are these blue skies No clouds to ease these feelings tearing me apart Alone I’ll head back into my home To lie myself down to sleep underneath a canopy of memories While I listen to the wind knocking anxiously outside Surrendering to the soft touch of your soul I let go at this moment and fall into you Drifting to dream as the tears caress my cheek At night when I’m lying in bed I’ll give into this loneliness so I can wonder How can I let myself heal when these scars hurt so much How can I begin to let something go- When there is nothing else dearer in my heart? When I think about the life we shared I’ll think about everything I once believed, I’ll always wonder if there was someway for me to know If there was something inside your eyes I should’ve known As I lie here sleeping in the rain Listening to the wind trying to take me away tonight |
