Silent World
by: Donna LewisIf I could put you, on top of a cake I would ice you ... and keep you,
wrapped up in a box to be
near you ... if I could ... I would ...
If I could touch you, again with my fingers so gently ... if I could
feel you, breathing in time next to
me ... but the silence surrounds me, flashing memories of you, riding
with the moon that night. I
never had the chance to say goodbye ... goodbye ...
Lost, forever, lost to another world ...
Gone, forever, but remembered in our thoughts ...
You are ...
If I could open, the heavens above I'd be with you ... if I could hold
you, again in my arms I would
tell you ... that ...
