Loss: Coming Home

Coming home

©

Looking forward to making it back

Returning safe to the place we built

I’m not so sure we’re on the right track

My mind full of tension and ….yes guilt

Comfort and pain in the same breath

The soft and familiar bed of roses

Feels like a stranger so soon I arrive

Did I make a mistake, is it me who chose this?

Away and reflecting, peace and space

A world of change at the end of my fingertips

I dream of the days we gazed face to face

Only for the world to tilt side to side on its axis

I struggle to find the words to whisper

Into your ears as you lay fast asleep

So near yet so far, the sound of your breath makes me want to hold our bodies close but never to meet

It’s not what you want and I know it’s true

You need your own space and time to relax

Me wanting you, needing you, makes no sense to you

You have made the break and already to you it’s a fact.

I know you’re not happy and neither am I

You’re too strong and unwilling to yield

I can never now be that sun high in your sky

For me you are that true field of gold.

Now lost for good your knight has lost his shield

Wandering alone with no purpose I know

Open to that straight arrow I can’t fail to feel

You have cut me loose without a place to go

We had, hearts that beat as one

Once upon a time for the rest of our days

But that’s a time long gone

Now it’s separate ways?
