Beautiful Sadness
"Walking alone is not difficult, but when we have walked a mile worth a thousand years with someone, then coming back alone is what is difficult." Faraaz Kazi
She left home full of bright promises and gifts
Building dreams out of twinkling stars and rainbows
But sadness over took her, waking to grey clouds of mists
She lost her way, stumbling blindly full of woes
Then you caught her in her spiral as she hit the ground
Scraped knees and bruised mind careening
Your kisses healed her broken spirit, lifted her around
Your love weaved golden threads, gleaming
A path together woven against her tortured tears
Years stretch a tapestry of tempest against gentle heart
But the mist returned in dark swirls to claim her fears
Now alone he walks through broken dreams, apart
love bridges darkness
a lovers light melts the night
now love walks alone
