Distant Is My Salvation



Distant Is My Salvation
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Tuesday, March 20,2012, @ 1: 44 PM


Cares turn to despairs as the rain falls
Weltering eyes cry as aspirations die
Future fingers they slip through for nothing is do
Nothing comes for it is done before it all begun

So blessed yet cursed what could be worse?
Sorrows for tomorrow comes silently creeps
Desperation turns to vexation yet I yearn
Vigilantly standing here for I am not where I belong

Destiny I missed her lips tenderly kissed
Fragrance of her hair so wishing I was still there
Hope smiles but just for a while
Anxiously desiring love's embrace for you again my finest friend

Dreams come true but not for you
Wishes wasted and anguish I've tasted
So much more wanting yet the past is still haunting
Rescue responds too late hence my fate

I smile while wearing inside a frown to not let you know I'm down
Toss in turmoil slumber's rest comes not to the gargoyle
Weeping so much for what I can no longer touch
Distances separate my heart but cannot keep us apart

When will it be mine for solace I cannot find?
Belief turns to a meaningless space filled with misery
Hark hearing the dogs bark in the dark
Shadows glow for I am ready to go

Scratching out an existence without purpose I smile
Behind the masked pain rain's as the skies burst open wide
Warmth felt has long turned to winter's cold
Happiness has faded to a vague memory of the serenity I once drank
