So Far Away

The rain is always beautiful, if you have a home.

The return is always wonderful, if the person waiting is your mom.

Sometimes it feels miserable and all alone,

Sometimes it feels you are still there and I am not on my own.

Sometimes in the dark when I am scared,

I turn on the lights to ward off the pain.

Relentless and in dismay,   

I call out your name, but you are so far away.

Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night,

And only a lullaby can make me sleep tight.

I advance ahead to kiss your face so grey.

I am all alone, because you are so far away.

 

I see your smiling face in a photograph, and I wish you were here.

To revive me with your grace, ever so clear.

Somewhere very close and whispering night and day

Then when I open my eyes, I realise, you are so far away.

When tears roll down my eyes,

And I try to find solace in compromise.

When I close my eyes and realise,

I miss you in silent thoughts and in woeful cries.

And it still doesn’t feel that you are gone,

You will come by and hold me when I am down.

Keep me away from falling,

Lend me a shoulder for crying.

I stretch my arms for the comfort,

Then I realise that I am still hurt.

Now my life starts to go astray

Then I wake up to find, you are still so far away.
