When you have lost someone you truly love
How do you pick up the pieces of your life,
Handle the misery of being alone at night?
What do you do with a heart that won’t heal?
Where do you go to hide your terrible grief?
When will the hurt subside just a little?
What do you do with all those mementos?
Where do you keep them so that
They don’t reopen all those wounds?
Is it ever possible to actually forget?
Could you just reach inside your heart and
Tear out those endless memories of love?
Can you? I am asking for help from everywhere
Yet at night, and some times during the day,
The ache seems never to diminish at all.
Why couldn’t we have gone out together?
Will it always cut this deeply in my heart?
I am glad I have these long nights
When I can be alone to communicate
With my heart’s memories of her.
