Losing The One You Trust

She was the light to my journey  
She was the answer to my question  
She was the strength to my weakness 
She was the voice in my head 
 
     Such a delight, shining so bright  
Her kindness is my garden  
The only garden I want to walk in without any burden 
I raced, like the wind 
 
Wherever we are,  
Forever was in us 
Our voice filled with laughter soon after 
If only we could linger little longer 
 
   The past flew by fast  
Distance faded her existence 
Her heart turns into stone 
So hard I could not hold  
 
Our trust was that garden  
The garden she drew in my arms  
But now, that part of me faded away in flames  
My eyes became the worst, I shuttered  
 
Tears ran down my cheeks,  
creating a silent stream only I could hear  
Her words were soon the fantasy in me  
She danced away into the voice I couldn't hear  
 
The pain of losing is the knife you could never replace  
The pain of losing is the sound that makes you bleed  
Bleed out sorrow that was once happiness 
Somehow, we'll soon find back our destiny within our symphony
