Love No Longer Lives Here
46Love No Longer Lives Here
I lay awake at night
Peering into the darkness of my lonely soul
Afraid to close my eyes
Afraid to face what pleasures my dreams may hold
But despite my fears
Slumber take me still
Like a predator closing in on its prey
It moves in for the kill
And I find myself drifting
To places both familiar and unknown
To a place hidden in my heart
The place where love once roamed
But as I search the crevices
Of a spirit broken after love has gone
I find that there is nothing left but a wasteland
Barren, brittle, and cold as stone
My eyes fly open as I wake
Once again captivated by fear
As reality sets in and I realize
That love no longer lives here

I think that most of us have been there at some point in time. It is fair to say that sometimes what we expect to find in our dreams often is the exact opposite- esp. when it comes to matters of the heart.
I wrote this verse by verse driving down the highway on the way from visiting my bf. I pulled over to write each verse as it came together. The rhythm was inspired.

I want to be the first to know when loves eternal fire ignites in your Heart again...I pray Your heart opens and floods with a love like you have never known before and that it goes deep filling your spirit mind and soul overflowing into your children and those around you and then My Dear you will be truly alive and wonderfully present and that is what Jesus Died for so that you Areta Could really live!!!!!!

Beautiful. I love the rhythm. I remember the feeling, afraid to even go to sleep, but hoping that if I did I might find something, or feel something, different.
