I scramble alone in this vast place

Where streams seem to run on forever

I am alone and oh so lonely

It seems I’m the only one in this vast place

On the other side of the stream

I see a figure moving so gracefully

But this stream won’t end so I can get to him

Oh how I wish I had a raft

But this is just a vast empty space

With two souls longing to get to each other

But they can’t because this stream doesn’t end

Where is all this water coming from?

Then I hear a deep echoing voice say

These are the tears of all those who

Tried to get the love they craved

But could not obtain it

Oh these endless streams of tears

That has widened to receive mine as well

 As I lay here beside you

In the bed that we share

Tears stream onto my pillow

A silence fills the air

Do I dare look at you?

And ask where you’ve been

Or do I torment myself

As I do again and again

My heart beats hard in my chest

As I feel you turn your back to me

My mind starts to wander

My secure-ness flee

I detect a hint of perfume

Emanating from your body

My heart starts to twitch

Knowing it did not come from me

I lay awake all the night

Because my sleep won’t come

Not a kiss, not a hug

What have we become?

The morning sun peeps through the window

I watch you arise and walk away slow

Not good morning kisses or a hug

And I am wondering, where did the man I love go
