As Words Depart

HAZING OBLIVION 

Time and again 

I hold my pen in vain ,

Waiting for magic to happen 

Waiting for the words to come my way 

Time and again 

I have longed to write 

As much as I once

 longed to see your sight

This unclearing oblivion

has left me in tears 

Has my magic gone 

along with you dear ??

Have I lost my everything 

along with you dear ??

Have I lost my medicine 

for my darkest of fears ??

I stand here wearily

Like a soldier without sword 

The cold night embracing 

The sorrow I hold .....
