Absence

Attracted by the absence of my laughter Kept close 'til I opened myself Terrified by my fond affection Driven away, leaving me alone Shone upon by the mourning light I found myself - lost and betrayed No soft voice, no comfort for me Solitude was all I could see Playful youth, you passed me by Shameful truth, I'm here to die As my wrist cries for you I wonder when I turned to dust My reverence for you, Denied my gentle touch My last joy became my last sorrow Burdened by my desire Ever longed for, ever looked for Found, but never embraced Solitude is all I can see Solitude is all I can see
