The sun is shining but not in my heart.
I feel no warmth as it hits my face.
The birds are singing but not to me.
I no longer hear the music that we used to dance to
Children are playing but not where I can see.
Their laughter and joy are no longer vibrant in me.
My heart has been torn; love does not seem to overflow anymore
Only tears fall where smiles used to be.
No matter what I do, pain is there.
Empty spaces reside where you once did
Shadows of fantasies and dreams still untouched
What good is love if you are not there?
I watch as lovers hold hands and stroll
Wishing I were there with you.
I hear a voice call my name.
No one but the wind calls to me.
I feel the caress of your touch
Only to turn and see my hand there
Now there is room for my heart to heal.
Time will be the judge.
The world will not stop, nor will I
Flashes of memory come into view
Gradually filtering the love back in
New hopes has come with promises
Warmth of love returning
Music in my heart playing
There is joy in my being again
I am alive once more
Learned experience
Love reawakened
