The Reflection of Shadows
Without You
In distance, we're light years apart,
But you - you're branded in my heart,
You're with me in my restless sleep
In cherished, haunted memories.
You're in the pieces left behind
Of this new puzzle of my life,
With missing pieces, missing peace -
Missing you here next to me.
When I break down, when I give up,
When tears come pouring flood by flood,
I'm drowning in this sea of blue;
When I lost you, I lost me, too.
I've prayed and pleaded Father Time
To pause, to stop, to hit rewind,
To let me have just one more day,
To let me try to change your fate.
Though life is short, these days are long,
And nothing numbs the endless raw,
Yet when I close my eyes to rest
Memories of you dance in my head.
Each memory a puzzle piece,
A precious moment I can keep,
A shard of hope / a dagger red -
Pieces of my heart in shreds.
And when the morn shall break anew,
I'll still be left here missing you -
I'll be here with a piece of you.
(A piece of me is in you, too.)
But you - you're branded in my heart,
You're with me in my restless sleep
In cherished, haunted memories.
You're in the pieces left behind
Of this new puzzle of my life,
With missing pieces, missing peace -
Missing you here next to me.
When I break down, when I give up,
When tears come pouring flood by flood,
I'm drowning in this sea of blue;
When I lost you, I lost me, too.
I've prayed and pleaded Father Time
To pause, to stop, to hit rewind,
To let me have just one more day,
To let me try to change your fate.
Though life is short, these days are long,
And nothing numbs the endless raw,
Yet when I close my eyes to rest
Memories of you dance in my head.
Each memory a puzzle piece,
A precious moment I can keep,
A shard of hope / a dagger red -
Pieces of my heart in shreds.
And when the morn shall break anew,
I'll still be left here missing you -
I'll be here with a piece of you.
(A piece of me is in you, too.)
