Ever since that dreadful day,
my heart is torn and tattered away,
the appalling memory lingers on,
I know to never be completely gone.
Each day you were by my side,
even when I sat and cried,
You took my hand and led me through,
but now I’m lost without you.
The teardrops come as rain,
leaving streams of marks labelled as “pain” ,
my lips are howling with the sorrow of my heart,
I’m falling apart.
The tedious days go on with sullen sorrow,
the nights are long as I await for morrow,
the time I need you most, you’re only in my heart,
I’m truly falling apart.
