It seems just yesterday
You were still here
I had someone beside me
To wipe away my tears
No one could stand in our way
We were invincible
Then my better half disappeared
And I became invisible
The days seemed long
The nights were longer
As my heart grew weaker
The devil below was stronger
My hope was gone
My dreams were crushed
And talk of death
Had not before come up so much
My home was dark
My job was lost
And Lord only knows
How much of me that cost
And so this is to show you
To try and make you see
That before you were taken away
You meant everything to me
Author notes
I wanted to tell the heart break of someone who had given everything to that special someone before that person's time was up. That's why the man/woman had nothing left later on. It happens to many people all the time and this is for them.
