I stand and wobbily make way to the door

Night fallen so quickly again

Afraid of dark
Shut the door and turn around
Not before flipping the lock

Instead of going to move amongst glowing lights and the odor of *****
Slip into pajamas and slide under the covers of my dependable bed
If patient
Sleep will find my skull eventually

So once more I am left in the space between dreams and reality
To float amidst streams of wind inside my empty mind

I feel everybody's eyes trained on my back

Your hand clasping mine

Your lips on my cheek

But all is at stake

Like it is not mine to keep

I do not know where to go from here
Vision blurred by every heavy tear
Helplessly witnessing hope disappear
I am forced to face my greatest fear
Which is losing the people i love the most

Take by surprise by letting me find
You hold me with a hand so kind
Lead to the answer with a song
Press against like a current strong

So I love you forever from now
Every place we go that is my vow
Your body is my only desire
Touches mine
Sets skin on fire

Fill with hope for better days
Overflow into me your words always
Call me home
Call me your wife
Welcome to the rest of our life

I cannot believe you're really gone
Disappeared in blink of an eye
Many things I would change
If I had another try
You meant the world and more to me
NoI'm stuck asking the universe why
You would take someone I love so much
Before even saying goodbye
My mom passed away and now i feel hopeless. I can barely muster the strength to go on.
