Dawning

I have waited. I have yearned.
Memories of what was, Dreams of what may
Were all that kept me sane.
Time and time again. 
I tried to forget, I pushed and fought.
Desperate to escape the past 
and forge forward anew.
But what am I without you? Half of a person.
Half of me and half of you. Never whole.
For the void you left is an infinite abyss.
I used to dream of you every night 
and dread the dawn's approach.
Always being torn from you,
Ripped from my heart.
I can't breathe at the thought of losing you again.
I cling tight and hold you close.  
The darkness of dreams our sanctuary.
I breathe you in...
And once more dread the dawn's light.
