Once upon a time...

There was once a time
when we walked the dunes
hand in hand,
heart to heart
never fearing
always daring

There was a time
when I lived
not through my breath
but through your heart
and your quiet whispers
and unhindred smiles

There once was time
when I feared no tomorrow
and felt no sorrow
my heart was light
and my soul yours ever to keep
like a little stone that travelled with me
many a miles to become part of me.

There once was a time
when I felt strong and good
and everday rose to a new shining
even though the curepipe sky was grey clouded
mine was ever as beautiful
as you are to me.

But show that I cared
I never could
for I never learnt how
and I slowly watched
your smiles turn to tears
and your tears to tatters
scars to my heart.
Ever to be broken

Now that you are no longer here
I am but a shadow to the one I used to be.
and everyday rises to see me grey minded.

Where are you
now that I need you
where are you
now that I am bleeding
my heart to numbness
and crying
my eyes to blindness

The strength that I drew
came from the smiles you threw
The passion that I share to the world
came from the whispers you sent my way.

where are you
now that I am dying
everyday a little more
in every way

the further you move
the weaker I am.
