Ephemeral...

My existence to you was never noticed.
The distance, however great, could never overshadow your brilliance.
Glowing in the dark, my glowing light is faint.
The slight spark of fright.
Has left me so afraid.
 
Tears of a thousand sins glitter in the rays of the sun.
Is it better if all these secrets die with me.
Transforming tears to ink, Translating heartache from poem.
Everything left unsaid gets written in the events of time.
 
Oh how I should have.
Maybe then you'd know how much you meant to me.
I feel incomplete.
Maybe then we'd meet and realize we're meant to be.
I feel incomplete.
 
Drawing breath.
Awoke in a broken world without you.
On my own, left to face this cruel place alone.
Vivid memories still haunt me as I try to move on.
A distraught past conflicts with a future yet to come.
 
Reaching out to a silhouette of who.
How could I've forgotten.
In an instant you'd disappear.
Away from here.
How could I've forgotten.
Any chance I had was ephemeral.
 
My existence to you was never noticed.
The distance, however great, your voice echoed as I listen.
Wishing it weren't this way, living in constant lovelorn.
Giving up a content life for strife without end.
 
A bittersweet reoccurring dream keeps me going.
On my own, left to face this cruel place alone.
Could it mean somewhere in the back of her mind, I'm there.
A distraught past conflicts with a future yet to come.
 
Reaching out to a silhouette of who.
How could I've forgotten.
In an instant you'd disappear.
Away from here.
How could I've forgotten.
Any chance I had was ephemeral...
