Far From You

You broke the bond and disappeared
You left me shuddering in fear
I thought I couldn't live without
Your presence if you weren't about

But now the great divide is set
I'm several bodies from you, yet
The story stays unfinished still
Lingers in mind, against my will

I'm many stories set apart
Each one that tries to steal my heart
I'm many trials far from you
Each one that tests my spirit through

Far from blinded by beauty gone
Where logic oversees my thoughts
Lest I should fall, be hurt and lost
I'm far from you, a stranger known

Still

Still holding in what real holds
And binds my heart, I won't let go
Still hiding what I really feel
Still won't reveal what I've concealed

Whathas been buried deep inside
Still behind curtains, my soul hides
Still fearing what the world will say
Still broken that it's gone away

Still holding back the tears within
Still feel so lonely, holding in
The memories from where I'd been
The best I had, or'd ever seen

Still reflecting on the good times
Still feel emotions, now confined
In walls and barriers to protect
My heart from reject or neglect

Still deep inside false hope's aflame
That someday I'll be free from shame
Still dream that one day fate decides
To place who I love by my side
