An empty space

An empty space


I did it again tonight.
Maybe one night I won’t have to do it
The pain comes back each time
Each time I roll over to hold you
Only to find an empty space to cuddle with
They say in time that I won’t loose my mind
That I’ll stop thinking your there
I’ll move on and love again.
I try to believe them,
I try so hard
yet I can’t seem too.
How could I ever forget you?
how could I ever let you go?
All I know is there is an empty space in my bed again.
When I roll over to hold you
there is nothing but space for me.
My eyes fill with the waters of pain,
the tears flow and eventually the night ends.
Still missing you,
missing you with every sunrise,
missing you with every sunset,
always missing you.


Then one night when I rolled over you were there
I opened my eyes not believing what my arms were telling me
You were my angel,
My angel right here with me again
You told me to hold you one more time
to savor every second that ticked by
Because when the sun rose, you’d be gone
It would be time for me to move on.
You filled me with warmth for a lifetime
Told me it was okay to love again
To feel again, to be again
When the sun came I opened my eyes
only an empty space beside me again
but my heart was no longer empty
I knew you were still with me
That you always would be
So now I can begin again
