Frozen in time
I can't rest while she remains far away
Is she still mine?
Will she come home?
Is there any chance?

Doubt now hangs over
I dare not trust to hope
Yet I cannot stop
Guilt is controlling
So I do all that I can before I let go...

But can I ever let go?
Have I driven her away?
Guess now I'll never ever know
Yet I feel compelled to say...

I'm sorry
If I wasn't the father I needed to be
I'm sorry
If I couldn't protect you from life's misery

Sorry…

Day after day
You don't come home, all my hopes go down
Draining away
Clouds grow darker
Happiness is just a word

My search is over
I've done all that I can
But it's not enough
Grief now controls me
I drink as I curse as I smoke, and then I cry

Today I wanna just cry!
How did I let her get away?
I'm drowning in a sea of whys
But I have to tell myself…

I'm sorry
Sometimes we must settle for loss and ado
I'm sorry
As you do still love her, she still loves you, too

Sorry...

Well, since I went offline, my Bengal Lexus Ton-Ton went missing; disappearing at the beginning of February and has not been seen or heard of sense. This is the second of two poems I wrote to cope with her loss. Though not as painful as the first to write, it was still a very hard piece to compose.
