I

YOUR ABSENCE, MY PEACE

You walked into my life and posed to be mine
Before you walked on my feelings and departs my line
Merry times savoured: memories carved together
A sweet journey that was meant to be forever
You used to "sing as I write"
Now we both leave love to live in plight
My heart calls for your presence
But feels safe with your absence
You gave pride the paddle of the boat we built with time
Now our hearts are paddled to the high seas of no divine
Ouch! Look how love's twist and turns lead us astray
And leave us lost; we are now pride's ready prey
You now feed my verses with words of woe
Recounting a tale of love: a sorrow I feel so deep and low
On the eve of your leave, I met a life surreal to live
A life I thought even time could not heal
But faith held me so strong in it serene arms
And hope reminds me of my strength as a man
Now I walk off your presence to grab ease
As time heals, your absence moulds my peace.
