Resolve

In the parting I fall to despair;

In fear of circumstance beyond repair,

And lingering doubt;

Did I do all I could?

“No!”, my mind shrieks in reply,

A better path appearing,

Through the clarity,

That love was belied,

By selfish possession.

Contemplations arrest my mind,

Of every mistake I can find,

Every solution now lost to time;

Replaced with the cold of perdition.

Hope still swells inside,

Haunting each day that passes by;

That forever will prove to be a lie,

And warmth will return to arms held wide;

A constant prayer for redemption.

But even should it go unheard,

This plea for a new beginning;

My soul will remain interred;

For in the absence,

I find peace in conviction.

Should fear prove itself real,

I accept my penitence,

Remaining within devotion;

Nothing will change the way I feel,

And in this solitude of emotion,

I find solace.

Without sight, without touch,

Without the joy of lilted voice,

I carry on in love unending;

For it is not what I was given,

That spurred this heart to choice.

It was simply you,

And I would rather love from afar,

Than turn my heart away.
