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 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.
