Without Knowing Why
Folder:
Further Down the Mistaken Path What ever happened to this gift,
What ever happened to this life,
What ever happened to this love,
What ever happened to our world,
what ever happened to us?
What ever happened to you and me,
Everyone used to jealously say that, together, we were perfect.
Every kiss...now replaced with a cry and a plea,
Waiting a lifetime for your return would definitely be worth it.
Shadows paint the sidewalk,
Where your body used to calmly be.
Forcing myself to smile when I struggle to even talk,
Searching in the dark for something that I can no longer see.
Screams sound silent, tears run dry,
Running away and never coming back without knowing why.
Skies are gray, future is black,
Starting to ponder in my mind if you'll ever come back.
What ever happened to our promise,
What ever happened to our future,
What ever happened to our happiness,
What ever happened to tomorrow,
what ever happened to us?
What ever happened to you and me,
All the lonely ones wished that like us they could be perfect.
Every "I love you"...now replaced with an "I'm so sorry",
Waiting for eternity for your arrival would without a doubt be worth it.
Toss my heart, soul, and dreams in the same forgotten pile,
Where our bodies used to peacefully lay.
Impelling myself to talk when it hurts to even smile,
Searching for the right words for a meaningful sentence I'll never get to say.
Memories become blurry, truth appears as a lie,
Leaving me all alone on the cold grounnd without knowing why.
Life is gray, an emotional attack,
My one and only, please come back.
...what ever happened to us?...
When I read this particular poem I thought of my belated husband. During my time of grief I have asked myself all the questions you have asked and I had to push down the knot in my throat and take it like a woMan!!! I think this would be a very beautiful song...
