Stolen Joy

Years have passed
Your absence grieves me
The time couldn't last
My sorrow won't redeem me
I miss you daily
And pray wherever you are
You've found paradise or home
I've tried to face this bravely
Life went from conventional
To utterly bizarre
And now I'm alone
Wherever you are
Please pray for me
This heart is covered in scars
Your constant absence
Has wounded beyond healing
Save me
I'm unable to pretend
When life keeps stealing
Joy


“The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.”  Charles Dickens
