“The view of a man that lost his whole world in one night, now he wakes everyday knowing he won’t see her laying by his side. Until time joins them back together, he is only left with the memories and the pain he hides inside.”



“The unspoken words I could never say, now it is too late. You lay in your peaceful bed, but you’re not awake; you remain dead. I can’t get you out of my head. Even though you lay to rest, this is not the end, just the beginning of a new start, until we meet again.”



I hold a picture of you in my hands; your memories in my heart

Bow my head realizing I am falling apart.

I hide my emotions behind close doors, too ashamed to face the world.

I ripe my tears as I leave my room,

But the anger and pain keeps on showing through.

Still pushing through everyday thinking about you;

How long can I stay this way, before I decide to go too?

I stand before your coffin as it opens wide.

I close my eyes and your spirit comes alive;

Holding on to everything I thought I’d never lose.

Then the light reopens and it all fades away;

The walls begin to shake.

Then I am back in my room.

Staring at another dosage, a drug I over use,

I lay back in my bed, everything spinning in my head.

And I am back in my happy place;

Where I try to escape

My dreams scurry faster,

Of everything I once said.

Then it is finally over.

I lean in to kiss you;

As I watch you lay to rest.

I walk away with burden on my shoulders;

Not expecting to say good-bye forever.

Trying not to cry and blow my cover;

For I must stay strong, though I do not know how much longer,

Who do I turn to?

Would anyone understand?

The pain of losing someone, you’ll never see again.

Does anybody feel this way?

Do they ever feel regret?

Knowing they had the chance to say “I lover you”,

To someone who was more than just a friend.

Now I live everyday with you underneath my feet;

With a gravestone reading “Remember me not as I am now, but as I use to be”.

Then I fall to my knees, and my heart shatters to the ground;

My soul is still lost,

Is anyone around?

Can they slowly lift me up?

Give me the strength to stand and the will not to give up.

How far do I have to go on this lonely road?

Searching for the answers to lead me back home,

It’s so different without you here,

I use to laugh without being scared.

Now I struggle with every battle closing in on fear.

Voices screaming louder, they surround me everywhere.

It’s hard to run away from a face you use to see everyday;

Now I shut my door, the sun is going down;

Another day has passed that your soul lays to rest.

My tears are finally dry;

Then I shut my eyes, to be where you are.

Our time is endless now;

I’m forever by your side.
