Gabrielle's Lament

I never thought that it would end this way
I always thought that you'd be there
How could you turn your back and walk from me
And act like you don't care

I gave you everything, my heart and soul
I left my life behind for you
How could you be so distant from me now
After everything that we've gone through

I lay awake and stare into the darkness
And see your face infront of me
I still can feel your touch, the love we made
My soul can never be free

How can I let this pain go
When its all that I have left of you
The nights and the days are endless
and nothing seems real or true

I thought that we were fated soulmates
That finally found their long way home
I never dreamed that I would be here
Inside this nightmare all alone...

Always There

You are always there
whenever I can feel
the anger or
hatred building inside me
you soothe me with your words
with you eyes
and I get lost within the sea of green
that captures my soul and
makes me aware of my breathing
of my existence

You are always there
to make me see the other side
to weigh the right and wrong
of my actions
you touch me in a way that
is too deep for words
too strong for me to deny
and I can no longer play this game
for you have become
a part of my soul

You are always there
to teach me how to love
to give
to be
and I will always need you
to feel your hand in mine
when sleep beacons us
and the darkness encroaches
upon the day
and I will always be here

A WARRIOR'S LAMENT

Fear wells up inside me
Never before have I felt this way
gripping my heart in a painful twist
Sleepless nights, tormented days

To fast to catch an image
Thoughts of her whirl within my mind
The sound of her voice lingers
And I can hear her words so sweet and kind

What did I say that turned her
When did I make my first mistake
Was what we had ever real at all
Or was her love for pities sake

I try coming to any resolution
walking these paths again and again
searching within all that I see
Only finding the same silent end

She had said that she loved me
it seems now so long ago
When the world was mine to conquer
And the enemy was known

The years have passed so quickly by
And I continue to travel on
Alone, yet searching for her still
To try to make right what I've done wrong

YOU

Gabrielle...You are all that I am....
When I think of my past
Mistakes that press upon my mind
In quiet moments
And stab my soul with fingers of icey reality
I see you...
And realize that you have become
The calm in my life

You are all that I am...
When I think of my past
Flashes of loss that grip my heart
Late at night
And shake me awake from a restless sleep
I see you...
And realize that you have become
The need in my life

You are all that I am...
When I think of my past
Searing pain that plunges deep into my core
And rips at my heart
Like a jagged piece of glass
I see you...
And realize that you have become
The love in my life...

You are all that I am...
You are all that I need...
You are all that I love...
And when I think of my past
I am thankful for all the pain
And fear
And loss
For that road has brought me to you
And I would do it all again
To know that you would be there
At the end
