Never Ending

NEVER ENDING

I had to leave

Both of us could see

It was never ending

The pain and grief

Loneliness for relief

Lost in disbelief

And suffering strives

Relentlessly contrives

Nothingness to arrive

Time wanders the void

Between splits in seconds

Great divides leap

Light-years with each step

In another direction

You blink and are gone

I am left in this dimension

Confused and withdrawn

Why did you not take me with you?

Have I forever been left behind?

When the strings vibrate your presence

I know it’s you who has arrived

For tomorrow lies

Blatantly eluding

Blinding truth

Illuminates my mind

Overturns the heap

Cheap overtures deceived

And around again

It is never ending

I remember that day

You stepped far away

Since I cannot see

You must have left

But sometimes I feel

You within me still
