On My Own

I tried,

I really did,

but now you're gone,

and I'm on my own.

I tried

to remember

and to forget,

but I couldn't.

Because you can't be gone.

You just can't.

I can't be on my own again.

But, eventually,

I did.

Instead of pushing the knife deeper,

I tried pulling it out.

Slowly, it did.

But,

I kept that knife.

I took it everywhere with me,

I did

all that 

we wanted to do together.

It was 

almost as if 

you were really there

with me.

As I traveled

'round the world

with you in my memory,

because we both knew

you loved

to see new places,

to meet new people;

you wanted to discover the world.

And you did.

Through me,

you did.

And here I stand,

standing in front of the peaks,

on my own,

that you probably meant for us.
