Image for the poem Away

Away

Asystole is such a lonely sound
As I watched you slip away
Emptiness came crashing down
Words are too hard to say
How do I tell the one’s I love
I pray for strength for today  
Cause tomorrow I’ll just drink it away

It’s the first sunrise without you
All decisions are way too much
Can’t find a reason, I don’t have a clue
I screamed your name in affray
How can I go on, I feel so hopeless  
Maybe I’ll stop at the church to pray  
Or sit here on these steps and just drink it away

Today is the day,  I’ll lay you to rest  
I asked God why He took you away
My body and soul is so obsessed
A single rose, one last time to pray
As the tears fills my eyes  
When they lower you in that Georgia clay  
The darkness will overcome,  I’ll just drink it away  
    
Just drink it away
Little by little the pain will lead me astray
Just drink it away
You were my forever now the past is all I have... after today
