So far Away Yet Here with Me

We ebb and we flow 
like the tides on the shore,
We say goodbye
Then we come back for more.
Like a drug we are addicted
To each other's embrace
And when I'm feeling alone
I just picture your face.
Time starts to stand still
And for a moment we're one
Then before we know it
Everything we know is gone.
Nothing lasts forever
We know that's a lie
Because when you have love
You can never really die.
No money can buy it
The green man can try it
But mother nature points the way
The truth is nothing else stays
Except those feelings that remain
Can't take diamonds and pearls when you die.
Don't let the fear win
Tell the demons who's boss
Easier said than done
Encurring my level of loss.
You seem distant sometimes
And I can't forget your lies
That caused me to stumble
Bringing tears to my eyes.
But I can't fight this love
That I feel in my heart
Believe me I've tried to push you away
No matter how hard I try to restart.
Your ghost haunts me daily
I know you are there.
I can feel the warmth of your touch
And your haunting glare.
But I'm not afraid
Because even though you are a liar
Nobody else
could set my heart on fire.
I gave you My heart
I laid myself bare
I became humble and lowered myself
But you didn't care.
I mother your child
Though when I meet his eyes
The ocean that belongs to you
Meets mine with electricity
Like you've been born anew.
Although you have hurt me
And shattered my heart to pieces
I will still find the love for him
And raise him to be a better man
I learnt so much from the hardships
So I'll do the best I can.
No longer will I kneal 
But for one reason only
To pick up my son
And cradle him lovingly.
I can't seem to let you go
Even though I know I should.
I'd die a thousand times to get you back
If I only could.
