It’s Been a Year
It's been a year to the day
Since you walked away
And I’m finding it harder and harder to breathe
The pain in my chest feels like it could kill me
If I just gave in to it
If I let it happen
I’ve spent a year fighting back tears
It feels like swallowing broken glass
For the pain it leaves in my throat
Leaving me unable to speak
It’s been a year
And I’m still holding out hope
Like a lantern
That you will speak
After a year of silence

Hope is a hard thing to give up, especially in very difficult situations. There is so much longing in this one. I'm left wonderful how the one in "silence" might respond...
ReplyDeleteHope is very hard to give up, but lamps run out of oil eventually, and I have to say things are looking dim. Thank you so much for your kind words.
