When You're Gone

When you're gone,
my heart shatters
as I sit waist deep
in thoughts of you.
This empty home
has left me alone.
I'm waiting for you
to open the door.
Save me,
I'm drowning in shame.
If you're gone,
maybe life will start anew.
Memories will collapse
in the wrinkle of endless time,
opportunity will knock
at the door of my hollow heart.
I'm home,
emptier than before.
Soon you're gone,
dreams disappear
in the mind of a child,
weary from battling armored reality.
I am who I have lost;
an illusion of fate,
wrapped around your little finger.
Forever,
I am waiting.

Actually, yeah! It's addressed to another person, too, though. And guess what...?

hey bela, so i really like this, especially the part:
dreams disappear
in the mind of a child,
weary from battling armored reality.

Your "poll" on the side there really spoke to me just now.
I wanted to vote for the first option. :(

Hey, I came across your blog in Google. Good writing!
Thought I'd comment because your blog is called the same as mine.
Have a great day.
Jack.
