Moments Apart Poem by James Casey

Moments Apart

I'm all alone now that you're gone
I try to sleep at night then await the dawn
I think of you, as I watch the bluing waves,
Then I cry for you, my heart each moment craves
If, I had known, such love would cause such pain
You still would rule my heart and in my kingdom reign
Because each step you take is worshiped by the ground
Oh blessed is such earth, to cradle your being sound
I'm quietly here in this empty space each and every morn
A thirst for death, this dying, the lack of love does warn
You've never had this before, or will there ever be again,
A heart that beats for you, like this one beats among men.
You were my only love, my whole life, and above all, my all
I will surely stay away and never let you see my teardrops fall
