Dying Without The Truth Poem by Daya Nandan

I await each new day as this young heart calls you,
So vast and empty this feeling is like the oceans so blue,
I miss you so much and yet here you are silent,
As time goes on the beating my heart takes gets more violent,

What must it take for a man to get a second chance?
What must i do to make you take my hand again and dance?
Why is it that heaven weakens me when it comes to you,
Maybe it is because you made me feel things that i never knew,

Or maybe its because i still believe that you are that special one for me,
That woman that i would hold close as i sail the deep blue sea,
Despite the disappointment and hurt my tender heart has faced,
Deep within it love for you has already been placed,

Those memories still play in my head, those flashbacks never end,
Almost seems that without you this broken heart will never mend,
Losing you so suddenly, in a blink of an eye you were gone,
And that piercing pain burns me within as i wake up lonely every dawn,

I struggle in bed with these nightmares caused by my tender heart,
It beats so slowly and softly as it is shattered in pieces and torn apart,
I cannot take this hurt much longer, i grow weaker each passing day,
The sadness eats me within as i watch my poor heart decay,

Will you ever realize that a simple man could miss you so much,
I miss us talking, sharing secrets, i miss your hugs and your gentle touch,
So what more must i say as this loneliness eats up my soul?
How much longer till this black hole swallows me whole?

Soon even the dust from my bones wont remain,
All that will be left will be a memory of a man full of hurt and pain,
He who died of a broken heart waiting for a woman in his youth,
Not knowing why she left him, dying without knowing the truth.
