To my loved one in Heaven
I have experienced so many
Sleepless nights begging God
to revive you from the dead
and to take me instead
Because continuing to live
Life without you is what I dread
Your death has left
Me in an never ending
State of devastation
That I can no longer
Handle this separation
If only Heaven allowed
Me In for a visitation
For I miss your conversation
I can’t help but to stare into space
As I reminisce while picturing
Your beautiful face
So many sweet memories
Of you that will never be replaced
Not having you in the physical form
Has left an undissolvable bitter taste
How can I feel any happiness
When all I feel is pure emptiness
How can I be strong?
When each day that passes
Without you is far too long
No matter the time or day
The cascade of never ending
Tears down my cheeks
Have left a permanent stain
And I constantly feel the
Physical and emotional pain
No matter how many times I ask why
No matter how many times I have cried
It will never change the fact that you have died
Without you here there no longer is tomorrow
Therefore I would prefer to drown in my own sorrow
