'Crossing The Void'
by:  P.J. Sutherland

The cold darkness of the void
Surrounds me and saps my soul
These long endless nights alone
Are taking a heavy toll

I have lost my sense of self       
Bereft of my saving grace
Blackness is my companion      
Nothing fills the empty place

How to cross the frozen waste
To reach beyond time and space
To touch once more another's heart
See a smile upon their face

My heart reaches out in fear
To find the peace I have lost
The simple joy of being
To love no matter the cost

I should  have said "I love you"
Three small words, so hard to say
Foolishly I thought you knew
I loved you more each day

Cross the void and take my hand
Banish winter from my heart
Welcome the sunshine of love
The sweet sting of Cupid's dart
