Bereavement

You're gone
Another candle burnt out
There's not many left
My world goes dimmer

There's a hole in my heart
And there's nothing left to fill it
Except memories and sleepless nights
Sadness follows like a cloud,
I miss your sunshine

I'm lost
Like a compass without a needle
I'll never forget your face
Will I find myself again?

Tears smear the ink
With which I write these words
I can't explain
How much this hurts
I try to forget
But it makes me feel worse
If your life was a gift
This sorrow is the curse

You're gone
And I've got to work through the pain
With time, hopefully light
Will come back to my world again

Goodbye
