Where I've Never Been Before

tapestries and memories

scattered emotions line the floor

letting go and losing things

where faith and sorrow go to war

funny how in seconds flat

the world became a stranger place

when I can't follow where you're at

and long so much to see your face

a breath away from yesterday

and eternity expands between us

I never imagined when you went away

that tears could turn my heart to rust

fragile fingers cling to life

while the will is letting go

it's more than my heart can describe

and time bids me to forgo

the path unpaved before me

as the past begs me to stay

separation in the sixth degree

removes the thorn in my bouquet

knowing that you are with me

I can face another day

here, in my fondest memories

any time and any place
