Silence

There’s a silence in the house

Where you once roamed

You voice still echoes

Throughout this lonely home

Your voice is no longer

Part of our everyday lives

We don’t hear I love you’s

We don’t hear Goodnights

I was lucky enough

To have one last message

One last I love you

Before you made

Your heavenly passage

And while I grieve the loss of you

I remember all the times

You said you love me

I just didn’t know this time

It was goodbye

So when tomorrow starts without you

And the next day again

I’ll sit here in silence

And mourn my best friend.
