You left without saying goodbye

You left without saying goodbye

You slipped so silently by

I had not even noticed

Until it was too late

 

I reached for you

Desperately through my darkness

Only to find an empty place

Where you used to be

 

I looked for you crazed

And with urgency

Like a moth who seeks the light

But was only greeted

With frustration and blindness

 

I called to you

But my words were returned to me

Unheard as if never spoken

 

I ran to you

But I stumbled and fell,

Crashing with realization of my betrayal

 

Please come back to me

Forgive me for forgetting who you were,

And all that you had given me

 

I took you for granted

And let another’s lies

Blind my judgment

 

Please return to the place in me

That aches with loneliness and confusion

I have awakened from my torturous nightmare

And long for your reassuring touch

 

Give me your strength

So I my rise to my feet

And stand once again with purpose

 

Fill me again with your light

And guide me towards the path of my salvation

And never again shall I forsake you

 

Please return to me soon

For I am nothing without

a ” SOUL”.
