Once loved
I act like I'm doing fine surviving,
all the while inside I'm dying
My heart will yearn
The rest of my life
My Soul burns for you still
I Love you and I need you
Life without you
Is so unkind
I don’t sleep
I can’t unwind
Thoughts of you
Never leave my mind
Tears still fall
Startling, burning
Clenching my heart like a fist
Haunted by your loss
My soul is broken,
Yearning for your voice
My soul is broken
Listening for your laugh
My soul is broken
My heart is broken
Yet still unhardened
Hopeful
Waiting to be fixed
Yearning, pining,
Aching, crying
Seeking, searching
Each new face I meet
Your death made this hole
This huge hole in my soul
Waiting to be filled
Needing, wanting
Left this way
Haunted
This woman
You once loved
