Sorrowful Lifetime (Without You)
I could feel your absence in every room,
The bed where we once lay now bears only the tear stains I left.
You've left me with nothing but memories,
And it's these memories that I hold so close to my heart.
Every breath I take hurts, knowing we no longer shared the same air,
Each heartbeat felt like a pointless rhythm.
Wrapping myself in this blanket felt wrong, the warmth of you was missing,
And always will be.
Your voice exists only in the memories I wished we had made,
The memories we could have created if you hadn't departed from me,
Yet the ones we did make will be cherished just as much as I loved you.
The soft kisses you left on my skin remain engraved in my mind,
Your whispers late at night will no longer help me sleep,
But instead keep me wide awake, hoping you leaving was just a nightmare.
The touch you gave me has faded, leaving me like an abandoned dog,
The fear of abandonment lingers, but I'll always crave the affection of another.
Any attempt to fill this hole you've left behind is futile,
I could spend lifetimes searching, yearning for a new love,
Yet none will ever match the passion and authenticity I felt with you.
In this lifetime, I'm condemned to live a sorrowful existence without you.
May I not encounter you in any other lifetime,
Denying your existence in this one won't end this pain,
But perhaps it will spare me from feeling this helpless in another lifetime.
