It’s been a while since words have found me,
the time between – you’ll come and go;
I’d grown to love the sun around me,
I’ve been a stranger to my woe.
It’s been so long since there was silence,
all around me, your voice had rung;
like a bird who sings, to greet the morning,
to tell you that the day has come.
It’s been some time since I’ve felt lonely,
like a book that is, no longer read;
the darkness lingers on, without you,
it fills my empty heart with dread.
It seems an age ago, since you have left me,
time has filled me, with words unsaid;
as the sadness seeps into me slowly,
and I am left to face the night ahead.
