Splintered Souls by Melissa Jones
Alone I sit but I can feel your kiss, your gentle ghost.
I see you in dreams and fantasies of love.
Your face is a shadow, but the smile I do see and the love you crave from me.
Alone I wait till the day we meet, till the day you come to me.
Two souls at last to meet, to feel whole, and to live as one.
Alone I am, the soft remorse of each day passed does come haunt me.
Where are you, my spirit yearns; I watch the sky and the stars for you.
In every face I see I hope to find, a glimpses of my other part,
The splinted piece of my fragmented heart.
I listen to songs of love and hear the laughter of lovers pass.
I envy their feelings, their troubles and woes,
Their love and passionate throes.
I look to the skies to the hills and the roads,
The rain does fall and I listen and watch still.
Everyday I do carry on, with life and work and fun,
I seem to be living a chore.
But you're never to far from my thoughts,
I will carry your essence with me forever.
Until in time we finally meet, if not in this life than in a better.
