Loss

 An old man sat in a white room waiting for forgiveness,                                     But none is given                                                                                                

 Rocking back and forth                                                                                              Waiting for the misery to override him once again                                                          Along comes the nurse to inject his pain away                                                                          

All he wants is to be left alone                                                                                     Why can they not understand that?                                                             

All his vitality is gone, ripped apart by his loss                                                                                                                      His one true love, his only love                                                                                   She waits for him in the stars above                 

His light in the dark, his sun in the sky                                                                         Without her he is nothing,                                                                                            Nothing but an emotionless shell                                                           

 In his dreams she beckons towards him                                                                   Always blocked by a ring of fire                                                                                 She opens her mouth but no words come out                                                               A silent tear glistening on both their cheeks                                                                                         

He knows that soon he will join her                                                                               Once again they will be united             

So many years ago but still the loss haunts him                                                           Soon they will be reunited
