my life cannot be read another day of dread the sun setting the room turns a muted red the cigarette smoke disappears that it as shed i wrap myself with the bedspread silence as though everything is dead there is nothing looking ahead i am laying in bed on one side the other side empty where i have cried from the pain inside i am laying in bed at the head an empty space with no face no embrace something out of place never to be replaced by God's grace i am laying in bed with the memories of the love of my life who now is dead i am laying in bed i try i try i cry i look up toward the sky i cannot i will not say goodbye
