I lie awake and think of you
Tears fill my eyes.
I long to feel your touch, hear your voice, stoke your hair, kiss your lips.
I cling to your clothes
I fear your scent is leaving them.
My shattered heart cries out for you
My safe place in this world is gone.
Everywhere I look I only see despair
There is no happiness, no joy, no light
Only the growing darkness of this sorrow your absence has created.
Can you hear me when I talk to you?
Can you feel my love for you?
I need to know you are at peace and there is no pain or fear for you any longer.
Although I know these answers are not for me to know, I ask the questions daily.
I try to go through the motions of life although I do not feel alive.
This pain is consuming me growing more intense with every breath I take.
You are the love of my life, you have me purpose, you showed me what unconditional love was.
You took care of me, you made us a family, made this house a home.
Now it is just an empty place that reminds me I'm all alone.
