“Life Without You” is a poignant exploration of grief and longing. The poem delves into the profound pain of loss, capturing the raw emotions of a heart yearning for its departed loved one. With raw honesty, the speaker navigates the complexities of carrying on while grappling with an overwhelming sense of emptiness.
Life Without You
I wish I could live in yesterday
for today’s pain seems so great
And every tomorrow without you
begins with a crippling fate
I go through the motions daily
as if I were a circus clown
Entertaining the masses with smiles
while my heart wears a frown
I wish somehow I knew
how to end this gloomy feeling
I pray to a distant God for hope
and a much-needed healing
But the only comfort I’ll ever find
is when we can finally stand
On the banks of a Heaven’s shore
while holding each other’s hand
So as I wait ever so patiently
for my dream to finally come true
I’ll continue this unwanted life
with thoughts of love for you
