I feel so bare without you
like dark clouds which ominously cover the sky
but will not release rain to soothe the parched earth of your soul.
as Empty as lake without water
without you I am like a clock
that never moves,
useless...
your sun has vanished
while it is yet another day.
Perhaps you were ready to leave
But I was not ready to say goodbye
I am falling apart
And people will stand around watching it happen,
but can't do much to make the pain go away.
Senseless…
How do I go on without you?
