I don't...I can't forget you,
Although I wish more than anything
You would slip away;
Disappear from my fragmented mind.
All the warm embraces
When my body was engulfed in your arms
Will not fade; I'm stuck on repeat,
and I remember it all too clearly.
I didn't know you would slip away.
I don't know how it all happened,
But the emptiness in my heart
Keeps reminding me to see this hole.
Has it been days? Has it been weeks?
Time has blurred since the day I lost grip.
Everything I see is lost in a fog,
Left clouded and distorted with each ache.
I just can't take it! The pain is too deep,
Buried somewhere only I can see.
I'm lost in a sea of cold memories;
A place where your loved was once embraced.
I'm alone...left alone!
Where even my tears must weep.
I didn't get to kiss you one last good-bye,
Because I didn't know you would slip away.
Has it been months? Has it been years?
You are gone, nonetheless,
And I can only feel the wind
Passing through my empty chest.
I didn't know you would slip away.
For if I at least knew it was coming,
I would have looked deep into your eyes
And tried to capture a piece of your soul.

I know how that is all too well
I feel the same way everday without the woman of my life that gave me 3 beautiful children. I miss her so much, and the pain is unbearable and relentless. To have her back would be like recovering from a debillitating disease. Thanks for the thought that I am not alone in my down trodden heart and soul.
