They tell of the way
My heart clenches
Painfully aching
At the thought that you left, Nzalu
You really did leave
This has not been a bad dream
This is the truth
This is real
One year reeling
Without you.
They tell of the way
My forehead heats up
And my eyes turn red
Falling
At the memory
Of walking to you,
Looking as you smiled
That half smile that was so you
And asking God silently
To bring you back,
Because this is a lie!
They tell of the way
They puddled on my pillow
Night after night
Silently flowing
To the pain of each heartbeat
Floating through the days
Everything in slow motion
Like a distant scene
Of a slow and silent movie
A horror movie
With no sound
They tell of the way
My soul wraps arms around me
Rocking to the pain
Coursing through me
Feel the pain
Feel the pain
There is no way out
But through the pain... I read
Feel the pain.
Let them mark their way
Hot and swift down my face
Puddle at my chin
Clump up my lashes,
Blur my sight
As I hold you
Call you
Disbelieving.
Asking God for a miracle...
Feel the pain
Feel the pain
There is no way out
But through the heartache...I read
Feel the pain.
They tell of the way
Time does not heal
The ache is real
The memory remains vivid
Every minute
Every touch
Every thing
The pain is real
There is no way out
But through the pain...
Feel the pain
Feel the pain.
They tell of the way
My spirit knows
With every one
Every ache
Every pang
That through it all
The Almighty knew
And He watched
And said that this is just for a while
Because eternity is ours
To have you for ever
And ever
Amen.
