"Silent Wings"

In silence I grieve
Through the darkness of a thousand nights
The heart dies when love is done

With you I was a moment from heaven
I had no choice but to say goodbye
Knowing you would soon escape

You captured my very soul
Holding the key to my emotions
You led and I freely followed

Lost within the whispering wind
Timeless shadows of flight
I am the cloud and you the rain

In your weakening moments, I sheltered you
Never giving up
Watching your self-destructive dance

You don’t know how to love
Running in circles, running to your past
Paralyzed seeking your future

Feeling like an intrusion in your secluded world
Suppressing your love, a lingering torment
A sunrise extinguished and drained dry

My arms stretched out with nothing to find
Our hearts bound, our bodies separated
Like the night existing without the moon

Life is bare with the absence of your smile
In my eyes you were beautiful
A reflection of who you wanted to become

Still now the tears don’t fade away
Dreaming of once passionate nights
Only in my imagination can I embrace you

So, I must say goodbye
Locking the memories in my heart
Unfolding the poignant drama

On silent wings I will fly away
Shielding you from watching me die another day
I will carry your love with me

I shall die in deep slumber
Should you return and be able to give
I will awaken and carelessly love again

Maybe I will meet you once more
When we cross the bridge of rainbows
In a place where you can find peace

Flying back to me on "silent wings"
