Miss Them Already

Miss Them Already

Oh, the bleak dark night that will enshroud the next while of my life,
The wave of red hot tears my eyes cannot make fast enough,
This wretched pain; inescapable as death,
And bitter as only life can be.

Locusts swarm fiercely in my head,
Each one a thought each one a feeling, all devouring my soul,
Consuming all my essence and my being;
Bringing with them the dark that is my endless night.

The echoes of your voices in my head,
How sweet a melody they were,
What torture now that I can’t bear,
To think, for me they won’t be there.

The anger I have for what you’ve done to me,
The love I’ve always had and have for thee,
My yin and yang our destiny,
Now there’s only broken hearts and misery.

Trough out my day until exhaustion takes me down,
I crave the light from the stars you took from me,
Oh, God I wish my heart will atrophy,
And that this pain will also waste away.

All day all night I dwell on them,
From my dreams I wake up seeking them,
Of them not knowing where their father went,
Thinking that he didn’t want them and not knowing how much he misses them.
