Why you?

Your life had been cut short So soon you've been taken away, so cruel and callous Crippled and sad alone I am here with no one A deep loneliness overtakes me Nobody truly knows my pain, my broken soul Only you knew for you heard it all, felt the same No more tears for I am too numb, too deep to grieve For you've been taken, a part of me with you gone Paths will never more cross not even in a dream An unbearable ache in my heart resides Its permanence like a reminder of our times Still I remember your gentle smile, warm embrace What was pure seems now to be a fleeting trace Memories haunt me like a ghost Crippled and sad, longing for you, my beloved most Afraid to move forward, life becoming a blur For you were the only one who truly knew me Your absence has left me bereft Not a living soul can provide me with the comfort I need A distorted world of memories calms my sorrows But I never wanted to move on when it was too late to borrow I don't want to be here without you Only you knew what I was going through My secrets, my passions, my deepest fears too Held close within you, forever they'd come to rest But I am too soon bereft, your life had been cut short And I'm left alone here in the dark, frozen tears
