Without You
Inspired by the devoted husband of a woman that was cared for by my wife. He would come every day-rain, sun or snow, to be by his wife's side.
Dear Emily,
I’m feeling truly lost
And don’t know what to do
Sitting here broken
My soul, aching just for you
*****
How can I let you go?
When you’re everything to me
How can I stop these tears?
And set your soul free
*****
I’m trying to find the words
Trying to be a sage
As the water from my eyes
Punctuates the page
*****
The days seem much longer now
My walks are farther away
From the place; we shared our love
The place our love will stay
*****
Home; it feels much darker now
Pain wants to steal the light
It’s so hard, to be here
Without you; in the night
*****
I walk alone now
Without you by my side
Missing your soft touch
My love, My life, My bride
*****
Without you, time moves slower now
With you; time moved too fast
They gave you, maybe, six months
Each day could be our last
*****
You're gone; three months now
Half of me left that day
You said the words “I love you”
The last words, you would say
*****
Light comes very early now
I walk in morning dew
With undying love in my heart
Trying to live
Without you.
*****
You will forever hold my heart
With all my love, Richard.
