Before you left I couldn't believe that skin decayed
before you left I didn't know how loss felt
and how lost it made a person
before you left family was being in the same room,
not considering the same life
before you left I was sad for no reason
now I have a reason I feel more ashamed than ever
before you left I never said I loved you,
never appreciated how glad I was you were there
you were silent but you cared
before you left there was a whole
now a steadily deteriorating hole
although we manage
manage isn't living
like we did when you were alive
and through the loss of you
we have become lost.
