private poet

Without you

As soon as you were gone

Life without you was empty and cold

No longer here to love me

No one for me to hold

i feel exposed and vulnerable

I have no place to hide

Life is a dark and perilous path

Without you by my side

Responsibilities overwhelm me

Without you here to share

I feel so lost and lonely

Without you here to care

The wonderful life we shared

Seems such a long time ago

Even with happy memories

my spirit still sinks low

How can I face a future

Without you by my side

When will I find courage

Without you as my guide.
