They tell me I must move on,
But where am I to go,
That I should start a new life,
But this life is all I know.
How do I leave you behind?
Walk away from our past,
How do I ease my pain?
And let my heart heal at last.

Self pity is my greatest sin,
Apathy, my biggest crime.
Mountain of doubt stands ever tall,
Each day growing harder to climb.
I sit here in reflection,
Pondering the years we shared,
The good times and many sad,
Yes, I always knew you cared.

I mourn for you every day,
My heart consumed with sorrow.
I weep when they mention your name,
For us there’s no tomorrow.
Our son, our greatest achievement,
Our loving gift to each other,
A symbol of our eternal love,
A living part of you, his mother.

The answer to the question why,
Will always be a fruitless quest.
Only God knows his reasons,
For granting your eternal rest,
The morning you passed from this life,
My soul died along with you,
An empty shell have I become,
Void of all I once held true.

All the hopes and dreams we shared
Have vanished into the night,
Escaping ever from my grasp,
Fading slowly from my sight.
I want to live, but yet I don’t,
The battle rages on inside.
Loneliness seeps ever deep,
Into this soulless shell I hide.

You said your body was tired,
You no longer had strength to fight,
The battle for you was over,
Your journey towards the great light.
This blanket of unhappiness,
I wear each day like a shroud,
It drains me of strength, of all hope,
I stand helpless beneath this cloud.

Will I ever move on they ask,
My answer will always be no.
I will forever mourn your death,
As it is the right thing, I know.
