Never Again

As she sleeps
my mind runs wild..
Remembering tears
and forgotten smiles.

Never shall I forget
the heartache...
the pain...
Nor all those tears
that fell like
rain..

The day she left
my blood ran
so cold..
To have her back
I would've sold
my soul.

Mistakes that were made
and words that were said...
Each misstep has been
retraced in my head.

Never to walk the same
sorrowful path...
Never to lose the happiness
we have.

Never to lose sight
or repeat the past..
To always confront
and never mask..

To make peace
and all things right..
Before the darkness
of the night..

To always remember
the time apart..
The need and yearning
of the heart.

To always hold tight
on to this love..
A gift so precious
challenged by none.
