A Life Interupted


A Life Interrupted Darkness falls upon my thoughts And yet I cannot sleep My mind so full of shadows Reaching in the deep The weight of all the memories Pulling me away From a life I want to live But somehow, cannot play A time when I was happy Is somewhere in my heart When days were full of sunshine And we were never far apart But then you had to leave me Here in this mortal place Alone, but with your memory Your life, a fading trace. Your voice is but a whisper I hear still in my dreams And sleep is all I treasure the world no longer what it seems I know I should keep believing In all we used to be And somehow take that forward In a life that’s only me For now I struggle onward, My life a desperate plea To reclaim a life, a vision of A love that could not be
