Spiritland

My heart is torn from another love
in another time

The emptiness I feel is beyond words
beyond explanation
the pain it causes is just a casualty
from many lifetimes lived
all to bring me to the point I am now

I do now have words to describe
the separation and ripping of my heart
the tear is so severe
that only one can mend it

Do I deserve to live in despair,
in this torment?
Nobody does

I can dream of an incredible deserved future bliss
or am I just being silly?

I make love to the one I am with
expecting that it will be different this time
only to find the emptiness and longing
even greater

I have no desire to communicate, to be close
I find myself only trying to satisfy the loneliness
that haunts my every breath
each time you enter my world

I cannot seem to shake you
no matter how hard I try
and I cannot seem to let you go
and live another lie

What is this torment for, I ask
it cannot be for my health
I cannot seem to find the meaning
in anything other than you

How am I to stay alive
another 50 years
without you,
without the touch of your quiet hand
I do not understand

If I talk to anyone about it
it seems to decrease the potency
but never does your Spirit fade
from my ever-aching heart

I tell you this only so that
maybe you will understand
to live without you is a sin
and a reality I cannot stand

Please, I beg of you
take my hand and walk with me
to a land that’s free
and does not care one bit
of our human form or physical reality

Walk with me in another parallel
walk with me in Spiritland
