Happiness was in the days
and times when you were here
The times I held you in my arms
whispering in your ear

The times when words were vacant
and laughter filled the space
The times your love let lose
and my heart did then give chase

Happy were those days
knowing that you were near
though all things must come to end
my heart still holds you dear

A life with you apart from me
is a hollow vacant shell
the words die down
the laughter stops
my own tormented hell

Happy were the days
to be held just one last time
and end this burning pain
to know that you are mine

The earth now drinks my tears
a wash of mournful grays
if only you were here
Happy were those days

As the awkward silence of a thousand heartbeats pass
I am left to think there is nothing left for me
I don't like diaries they feel far too personal
they speak of pain, bitterness, shattered hopes and dreams
Mine no better than others
All consuming love drowned out by the angry waves of grief and misery
Buried by the storms you left behind as you walked away

See what you have done
A broken wall of hopes
A small tear across my heart
I am left to think
I have nothing more
You turned and left
Not a hug, word or thought
Now often down and sad I roam
Watching, Waiting
For things to end
