I constantly think I will never be the same.
The tears fall quickly just hearing your name.
Silence is golden, yet not anymore.
Silence brings thoughts I can’t ignore.
The nights are sleepless, dreams out of reach.
Crying in my pillow to you, I implore.
Surrounded by family, I still feel alone.
My heart is so empty. This pain I must own.
I wish I could hug you and see your face.
But now I have memories that are standing in your place.
Gone but not forgotten, that’s what they say.
Of course, that is true . . . but if only you could have stayed.
