Untamed Sorrow
Hope
*LIFE*
and still it moved on....
the sun still pierced the sky
though your spirit has gone
no-one feels it like I
I feel you in the mist
as the rain leaves the sky
your warm gentle kiss
in the salty tears that I cry
not a breath leaves my mouth
I don't whisper your name
all alone in a crowd
when my sorrows untamed
I remember your touch
and that spark in your eye
and I miss you so much
and I will till I die
but this journey demands
as the clock makes its rounds
that I busy my hands
move my feet cross' the ground
there is always a void
kept for you in my heart
a hallowed place you employ
while we must be apart
soon one day we will meet
and be together again
on those bright golden streets
we will walk hand in hand
but till then, know I love you
and you're here in my thoughts
every morning renewed
for the fight that needs fought
standing strong in the knowledge
we will both be transformed
home is where the heart is
holding you in my arms
