Love Lost
Thoughts To Myself 1995 (Texas)
When the scent of you like fragrant blooms floats through the breeze like soft perfume,
I can not breathe, my thoughts are strewn.
Fall to my knees, I can not move.
Our memories flood back in waves,
A love now lost haunts all my days.
How much more can this heart take?
Not having you is crushing weight.
Without you love, my body numbs.
I count my thoughts, there's only one,
and it's of you, forever you.
Without your light, my soul's entombed.

I still miss you.
