MILES APART by Terrence Narinesingh






MILES APART

by  Terrence Narinesingh


Tonight I don't feel the same
In this empty room without you
A lonely heart that remains
Stops beating the way it used to.


The wait flies by like lightning
As time freezes her hands
Meaning to life is missing
And I am less of a man.


Counting the days to your return
Like an impatient schoolchild
Though the world crashes and burns
Is your heart still one with mine?


Eyes run dry with bloody tears
My soul wanders into nothingness
Holding your picture here
I paint your lips and reminisce.
