Dance of Tears

Sometimes I look up at the night sky
And wonder if you see the same star
The moon shines so brightly upon me
And I know that you are so far,
My heart aches for you so badly
A pain that will never go away
Until you are once again in my arms
And with me, forever, you will stay.

I can still hear your soft voice
Whisper lovingly in my ear
Not wanting to open my eyes
Wanting you to stay near,
Even for a moment longer
Not wanting the dream to end
For even a split second is enough
For my broken heart to mend.

Now that you are gone from me
Time and distance do part
I wonder if you think of me
And the eternal ache in my heart,
I worry about you constantly
Overcome with my undying fears
So until that moment comes for me
I will be engrossed in the dance of tears.
