Love, Is Lost
You lived for two months and eighteen days
You lived for seventy seventy days
You lived for one thousand eighteen hundred and forty eight hours
There were times when you were happy and loved
You were celebrated
Your were a welcome addition to my life
There were times when you were sad and painful
You were misunderstood
You were an unwelcome distraction in my life
But you were loved
You were appreciated
You were craved in the most basic human ways
Even now that you are gone I long for the good times
Times you brought me laughter
Times you brought me peace
But now all you give me are the memories
All you give is pain and sorrow
All you give is longing for the past
My heart aches in your absence
It beats harder trying to fill the gaps
It beats fast, in time with the silent tears
I know the grief your passing will fade in time
I know the tears will dry with time
I know the pain will fade as time goes on
But with her face everywhere I turn
With her voice in every corner
Time stands still
And I am left drowning in my memories of the love we once had
