I Close My Eyes.......

As the days go by I think of you

Wondering what you are doing.

Are you thinking of me?

Do you feel what I feel?

There are so many things I want to say

Words that will go unspoken

Fearing that they will fall on deaf ears

Be spoken all for naught

The distance between us feels as though

It spans a life time. 

Talking to you but never hearing your voice

Seeing you but never able to look into your eyes

I am a prisoner in my own life

Bound by chains fashioned of torment

Strengthened by years of misery

Longing to but never able to escape

In my darkness I close my eyes and then

I feel the warmth of your touch on my face

I feel your arms around me, strong, 

Never letting go, keeping me safe

My body is pressed close to yours

I can feel your heartbeat, feel your 

Soft touch, your warm breath

Hear your whispers in my ear

I know that when I open my eyes

You will no longer be with me

Once again you will be only in my

Heart, my thoughts and in my dreams
