Never in a million years
Did I ever think that you
Would no longer be here
I know no one lives forever
Yet your death has me searching
For you wherever
Overtaken by fear
As I’m drenched in my tears
Slowly suffocating
While numerous thoughts
Of you are circulating
It’s difficult to foresee
Who wanted to take you away from me?
If only this was a nightmare
So this indescribable excruciating pain
That I feel wouldn’t be real
Because from this heartbreaking sadness
I know I will never heal
I have lost count of how many times I have wept
Since the moment you left
I haven’t slept
Not only my heart but my entire being has been shattered into pieces
With each passing day this unshakeable sorrow increases
Therefore in my mind endless memories will be kept on repeat
Until the day comes for you and I to meet
Selfishly I wish you were still here on earth with me
Yet I have faith Heaven is everything you dreamt it would be
