Crouched beside the bed 

with my legs tucked tightly to my chest 

I cradle my head in my own hands ; trying to sleep. 

Without hearing your voice, that used to be my lullaby 

I cant, 

So,I wait for you to come home to me 

I know you will, 

Because you said you would .

Two cups of coffee set on the table ; each morning 

One black, just as you like it 

The empty seat across from me, reflects my present state of life 

The dead silent house shouts of a billion memories 

I shake off these feelings, 

& remember the love we shared for one another 

I know you're here with me 

Because you said you will always be.

I hear them all talk & whisper 

They say you're gone, you're dead , you've left (me) 

i need to move on & face the reality 

but they shall never understand.. 

how it is to live your worst fears, how it is to walk a nightmare 

So, if reality means a life without you , my love 

i might as well be lost to the past, 

Where i know you will be 

Because you said you will never leave the comfort of my heart

Pressed between the pages of my diary 

is the last rose you gave 

the freshness gone, now a withered remain of its original self 

just as I, 

I rewind our wedding video (everyday) 

to see you one more time,to memorize the way you walk, 

your beautiful smile, your handsome face 

To forget you is impossible 

I know it is (regardless of what they say) 

haunting me night and day, just like u said you would, 

Yes darling, because you said you would.

Today my wait comes to an end ; 

Breathing was a chore on my daily "to-do" list, now i scratch it off 

Single cuts to my wrists 

i bathe in red,your favorite color on me 

color of the heart, color of our love 

I finally found peace, yes I did

"Together we shall live & die" , a vow we made 

A promise you didn't keep (its alright) 

I did , because I said I said Would...
