Missing You I sing rain Pouring seductively across November's ocean waves An exquisite trail of notes whispering subdued apprehension Searching the waters for your soul Listening for moments forever Desire rises and falls with the elaboration's of the melody Seduction bathed in my voice Rich tones seeking to entice Touching the hypnotic shift of the brisk swirling currents My song is a signature in the ocean wake Notes shrouding my suffering like floating ice Concealing the turmoil underneath the waves An illusion of serenity reflects in the cold waters Becoming a shadowy mask against its surface Broken only by an occasional echo of disillusion Tears both converge and sunder, casting light and dark Emerging and sinking back into obscurity Reaching for the human heart with a plea so strong It overrides both mind and will Anger and affection drain from my heart A vast tempest consuming my distressed spirit My mind struggling for a resolution to my stormy thoughts Things volatile and unsteady change with every breath I said such terrible things to you that final day Things I thought were the truth Things I thought threatened our relationship Things I can never take back You didn't understand Giving me instead a cloudy smile in return Shimmering into a patch of frost between us A dwindling apparition fading into dreamscapes I felt your love depart A somber plume of dust drifting past my window Leaving velvet darkness reluctant to yield to the light Your eyes cast a cold stony sheen that terrified me Anguish driven so deep it's unseen Spiraling like twisted horns deep inside Casting malevolent shadows on my face I find my memory of you has faded But thinking of you brings the ache and the need rushing back Hear my song And come back to me, My Love Let me feel your soul next to me forever I know I know I like to let myself suffer a while Before I finally let go
