Reaching out in the darkness
I feel your touch
My fears suddenly melt away
Testing my boundaries of faith
I hear your voice
Telling me you've never left
You hear my words
I whisper when I am alone
How can this be you were just here with me
But its been years since you took your last breath
Your voice starts to drift further away
I can no longer make out your face
A blur among the tears that stain my pillows
I grab for you wishing to hold you here
Selfishly wanting you to never leave
My mind and my heart play tricks on me
One second I am fine the next I am not
It was so long ago but the wound still bleeds
How does this hurt go away
Or will it always be this way
You leave me traces
So I know that you were here
Every time I feel you've gone
I smell you and feel the warmth of your embrace
Its only for a moment
But its been worth the wait
My heart aches for you
My life moves on
Even though you are gone
Gone to a place I cannot go
Off to the unknown
When I doubt that I will feel you again
I start to wonder
"Are you there"
But I know the truth
That I try to conceal
You are gone, my memories are now where you belong

Moving Forward
Be me, the haunting ghost
that’s left behind
The heart that has turned to
stone
Unrecognizable, I stand alone
Crossing those same lines
Pushing past the unknown
Determined to make it on my
own
Fighting back all those lonely
fears
That I could possibly succeed
Starring myself down
Facing the doubt that lingers
on
Pushing it aside and taking
that leap
To better myself to make me
over
I may be naïve to think
That things are beginning to
falling into place
I don’t believe in anything I
cannot feel
Even if it is not entirely
real
Reflection of the years behind
And all the things I could
have been
Today starts with one step
That will eventually lead to
another
Leading me on a journey
An exploration of who I am
The things I could be capable
of are endless
As long as I believe and never
stop moving
My journey will have
A destination
A future
I will be who I have always
meant to be
Just by moving forward.
