Drifting Debris

If I fell in-to darkness today

Would it matter to you?

If I disappeared amongst the drifting debris

Would you give it a second thought

Or would you simply find another love

And forget about me?

My heart, it's grown so cold

The passion it once held

Extinguished in ashes

Extinguished so long ago

Where were you when I needed you most?

Where were you when my world echoed

In darkness and waking ghosts?

When fists turned to rage

And, I cried myself to sleep

And I weep and I weep

For the years and years

And the ever elusive peace

I achingly seeked

It's been a week

It's been a lifetime

Far from the strength of your spirit

Far from the comfort

Found within your arms

And gray storms gather clouds

Gather ammunition

Gather dust and sorrow

Behind cloakened shrouds

Take me to another place

Take me to another world

I'm forever lost without you

You are my air, my space

My wind and rain

The sun and mighty seas

Simply, my love, you must know

You are the song that has always played

From my most delicate heart strings.
