A poem about a woman who's love has died, and she is trying to heal. |
I don't know what to do I'm completely lost without you I need you by my side Without you, it's like I'm not alive People keep saying they're sorry for my loss They say it's awful our love had to pay the cost They're calling you a hero, because you saved my life When you dodged in front of that ugly thug with a knife Why'd you have to leave me like that? Sitting there, holding you body as I sat My mouth wide open, too shocked to cry This wasn't happening. You couldn't die! Our love was too strong to overcome Looking back now, I realize I was dumb I took you and us for granted and now you're not here So I'm living with loss and fear Why did we have to take that stupid walk Just because I wanted us to talk If only I had turned left instead of right Then everything would be just fine But it's not, and you are gone And I fear that before long I might disappear, too Because I'm nothing without you Without your warm smile to greet me Or you whispering in my ear sweetly I'm scared I might disappear Without you to love me here Now the sun continues to shine Though I don't know how or why Today is not a good day For the sun to try to tease me this way I want to be sad and mourn your death Because I loved you and I'll never get over it But I swear I hear your voice Calling me outside to enjoy I can hear your laughter in the wind Chuckle over and over again Inviting me to taste the outdoors But reminding me that I'm forever yours Dedicated to Lauren, in memory of Anthony. |
