for want of you
across the distant miles
turbulent oceans and foreign lands
my heart has learned to fly
for want of you
the night becomes my ally
its dark, spindly fingers pull me close
to offer solace as we meet in misty dreams
for want of you
I cry myself to sleep with silent tears
a veil-like sadness wrapped around me
a prayer unanswered
a longing denied
for want of you
I have learned to raise my eyes
to see the stars and know
this one thing we share
for want of you
I lose myself
give myself
offer all I am
and all I might be
for want of you
