pit of missing

it's been a while since I've written.

for a while there i was with my forum friends... now im on a hiatus. man i miss them.

sometimes i still hit that pit of missing.

its gone in the morning.

but when you feel it, it aches.


every night the sun goes down
sometimes along the sullen path i fall
down and down and down into
the endless pit of missing

it's dark inside and oh so long
like where alice fell
past things upside down, mixed up,
passing all the past, and falling

throbbing can you feel the ache
the ache of longing for what was
that moment in time you once had
so quickly slipped away

just to behold a face again
moments loved that have moved on
moved into that country new
a language i have not yet learned

i yearn to meet you once again
why have you left me friend
i'm prisoner to this aching miss
ever falling, ever lost

i walked along the road today
when suddenly i fell
i caught the road just by the edge
straining not to lose myself

i closed my eyes and shed some tears
which fell down deep below
i felt you pulling there beneath me
but how could i let go

let me march on in this moment
let me leave you in the pit
ache, now get your hands off of me
i'll cry for you another day

every night just as the sun is
sucked into the desperate earth
this ache calls to me crying, grasping
insatiable, this missing

hungry beast forlorn and sad
lonely in the earth below
i'll find a way to fill you up
rest a while, the sun is coming
