Alone
By Nick Maddix 11-05-2002 @ 11:15 p.m.

A cold wind blows into the night sky
The air is poisoned with blackened mist
While I sit here in the darkness
Thinking about a forgotten kiss

Memories of the past still remain intact
But it only was meant to last for so long
While time continues to push along its path
I find that one day you're gone

A heart once full of love and joy
Now has been left empty and weak
I hold a picture in my hand and ask myself one simple question
Did fate really have this in store for me?

Such beautiful moments I experienced back then
Now lose their way into the dark night
And while the feelings of betrayal steps in to myself
I know that thinking like that is not right

Those memories keep flooding back to me again and again
Is it really all I have left to live for?
A tarnished symbol of truth now questioned
While these feelings of love keep rushing back for more

Does she think of me as I think of her every night?
Even on the darkest of days
A cloud bursting open to falling rain
Will the same follow for my heart as it withers away?

I yearn to hear her voice just once again
I yearn for her to call out my name
I wish for those memories to become reality once more
And I wish to be free of this love-less pain

Time moves forwards, it cannot go back
My love for her continues to grow
But still she is not here by my side
I am all but alone…

But I am not alone; she is in my heart forever
The memories dance inside my head and rewind
Someday my moment will come and I will cherish every minute of it
Until then I sit here and wait for the time

This ring of love that I possess on my finger
Keeps the memories and faith alive
While I know it may not happen right away
I know if I keep wishing, it will someday arrive
