I awoke again this day <br />With no motion in my heart <br />With strings of misfortune plucking <br />The intstrument of time were apart. <br /> <br />All those penned words I wrote <br />When your hands, mine could hold <br />Were merely a numb display <br />Of how without you, my sun turns cold. <br /> <br />So now I turn my head to the world <br />And now I sweep my gaze across the skies <br />As I try to find your vision <br />Like I do when closure meets my eyes. <br /> <br />These are the times of depression <br />These are the hours of endless succession <br />In which I wait for the day <br />That my arms can enfold you again. <br /> <br />Yet I know beyond any dismay <br />That soon again will rise the day <br />I can lay my lips beside you to say <br />How much I love you in every single way! <br /> <br />Yet for now... <br /> <br />These are the times of obsession <br />And the seconds of endless succession <br />In which I long for the day <br />That my heart can see you again.<br /><br />Aven Black<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/toady-s-wretched-captivity/
