Lasts a life time

How missed you are in the wilderness,
shadows flexing their muscles,
reaching, clawing... trying to stop you
from travelling into light.
Shut your eyes- just ignore them.

How Heavenly your face appears in front
of me, glowing in the night. I look and see
you're howling in the midnight rain, seeking
a companion.

Your hair has grown so much longer,
than it was before. Your eyes they seem
so still and shallow to the core. I pray
your soul will awaken and rise to visit me.

I feel as though I am shrieking, into
nothing but the air, your presence is
astounding, I feel you by my side again.

Love, that lasts a life time, doesn't
root within the earth, its shoots will
forever be watered with my sombre tears.

Cry as time is too cruel, moves too
fast or too slow, changes everything.

I am as I always was, you are with the
atoms, maybe you can touch me and
reassure me of your presence?
Do I ask of you too much? Love.

I'm calling, crawling, falling now.
It is the two of us that have passed.
For surviving without you is unendurable,
and you cannot bare to leave me again.
