Even Worth Living So now that you have left me I am too numb to feel And afterwards will come the pain Right now nothing seems real Except not seeing you again. But sleep is coming and, so, my dreams Maybe there you will reappear But the morning will show the sun’s beams And you will not be here. I don’t know how such loss will affect me Except an empty place you once made full And tomorrow where, you, will not see In a world you made wonderful. I don’t know how I can face such a day Without the love you kept giving Knowing you are not there to guide the way Now I wonder if it is even worth living.

Heaven Know I watch you as Heaven is reclaiming your soul But a part of it you still will leave behind So that following its trail to you, one day go So the happiness we shared, again, with you find. I am learning that our lives we merely borrow The time we spend here can never truly own For the day will come when there is no tomorrow Except in a realm where only dreams are sown. And I will see you there, my love, where dreams are true And though you leave now will never be truly apart For all that I can ever feel or know comes from you For all in what makes life real comes from your heart. I watch as your breaths draw you to a place divine The one to which, one day, we all, too, go But Heaven has to concede that you are only mine For only through our love do Heaven know.

Reborn My emotional investment in you is all I can give In no other can my feelings share If you go in an empty place must live To only one woman my soul bare. I know this you may, to me, refute Isn’t love something our lives surprise? But my heart this argument will dispute For ever broken should you close your eyes. This is the wrong time of year for this to face But is there ever a good time for love to leave? Still, Spring is the season where new life embrace Instead, where the Rose blooms I now will grieve. I do not know what I will face when I, too, go But it is clear what this world will look to me A preview of Death here all I will know But reborn if, in the next realm, your smile see.

Only Through Your Love What seemed eternal lasts but a day That comes and makes you realize That nothing so precious can’t be taken away And even Oblivion can’t dull my cries. I wish that Time came for me, instead For without you the sun has left its home But if Time took me Death only once led Instead, left in the darkness to roam. Like a Rose that stands in her gardenly attire It seems this floral home everlasting If I could only have frozen such desire So that beauty lasts, and all else fleeting. But you, like the Rose, the world blessed to see And what Heaven gives back to it must return And you were the flower that grew for me Now Heaven will take what I can only mourn. You, like the bird whose notes sound so sweet Its chords seem to always fill the air It was your voice that made my world complete And like a winter that comes no longer there. Like an Angel that so much love to me give Too much beauty for this world to keep I guess Heaven is the home where you must live To leave a mortal man your absence weep. If only our moments could never leave I would trade those for what never seems to give Or if only from this granted a reprieve For only through your love did I ever live. Now all that will be lasting is my sorrow And, cruel Time, you will not take that, too But let me know it will be there tomorrow Only an empty life left remembering you. So, I should know that life comes with a lease And what I love only in moments measure And once they go I will not find any peace For your love is all that I could ever treasure.  

If Not Mine Goodbye my love, though this pains me to write My best lines I can only look back to see For then you were in my sight And could wish you were with me. But, now, I must sadly realize I can only tell what I will miss Empty lines without this prize That would be sealed with your kiss. That is why from the page stay away Only the haven where hope occupy If with me no chance you will stay No use if with me you will not lie. So, I should understand and let you go And leave these pages without a line They are only filled with the love I know And only empty if you are not mine.
