It's hard out here

On my own

To make the decisions

Now you're gone.

.

No back-up

Nobody to hold

I can't do everything

Without you here.

.

The silence hangs heavy

No sounds

Empty house

Cleft heart.

.

Necessary separation

Hard on the heart

No warm hands

Here in my home.

.

I regret much

I love more

It amplifies the quiet

In this room.

.

I didn't know

What you meant

To my life

Now I do.

.

Come back

Quick as you can

It's been a lifetime

Now you've gone.
