YOUR ABSENCE, MY PEACE

You walked into my life and posed to be mine Before you walked on my feelings and departs my line Merry times savoured: memories carved together A sweet journey that was meant to be forever You used to "sing as I write" Now we both leave love to live in plight My heart calls for your presence But feels safe with your absence You gave pride the paddle of the boat we built with time Now our hearts are paddled to the high seas of no divine Ouch! Look how love's twist and turns lead us astray And leave us lost; we are now pride's ready prey You now feed my verses with words of woe Recounting a tale of love: a sorrow I feel so deep and low On the eve of your leave, I met a life surreal to live A life I thought even time could not heal But faith held me so strong in it serene arms And hope reminds me of my strength as a man Now I walk off your presence to grab ease As time heals, your absence moulds my peace.
