My Sun was snatched from the sky

Living in a cold world no longer lit by you

My tears freeze before shattering upon the ground

Broken glass like my broken heart

Your warmth no longer warms me

I’m an empty void of nothingness, I can no longer feel

My emotions are dead, vague memories of yesteryears

I once felt so much love, so much hope, so much…

Now I only see you in dreams, if I am privileged with sleep

My eyes are swollen and my heart is heavy

I don’t want to live without you here

Oh God, why did I have to stay here?

Every day that the wind blows I look up and feel your breath upon my face

I feel your touch surrounding me

I love you ever so dearly

As I lay down to sleep, relax my mind and guide my dreams

I want to remember happy times and a joyful mind

I now live in despair

Afraid to tell people how I really feel, because if I did they’d probably commit me

My sun no longer shines

Cold world, frozen tears and endless despair

You ever tried sleeping with a broken heart



I can’t sleep in our bed….
