I have left you

I have left you
I know that I love you
But your very presence
I cannot bear
I sleep restlessly next to you,
Praying I shall never wake
Yet find you every morning
Waiting
Vacant
Follow the violin’s wake
And pour myself onto the shore
I cannot bear this containment
Free me
Once more
I know that I love you
My proof does come with the sunrise
Many times
I have stared into that blazing sun
Distracted from this fun we share
Only to find you smiling as my sight returns
Filling me with the pride
Of a man who is loved.
