Without You
By: Jo Smith ~~ October 3, 2021
To Live Without You is not something that I want to do.
To Live Without You is more sorrow than I can bear.
The pain of not seeing you is coming through.
I see your smiling face everywhere.
In my mind, you are the rising sun and the flowing stream.
You are a gold mine for me to gleam.
You are laughter, love and fun.
I could enjoy you until the day is done.
To Live Without You is a twisted version of life.
It is as if someone cut me with a knife.
When you went away my heart became an empty well.
My grief is more than my tongue can tell.
You were the beautiful stars at night.
With you, everything was always right.
You were my inspiration and reason to achieve.
Now I am living only in a make-believe.
I long to hear your voice.
To be with you every day is my choice.
I held you as a baby; I played with you as a child.
The wonderful times we have had are totally wild.
So, even though I tell my heart
it is ok that we are apart.
It refuses to agree
and I know I will never be free.
Sometimes we love too much
and then we lose that sweet touch.
We can no longer fill that empty place
For seeing you is all that can erase
the pain, emptiness, and desire.
Your sweet spirit sets my heart afire.
I long to hear again your childish laughter and play.
So there is nothing left to say
except that To Live Without You
is agonizing grief that I must work through.
