Empty Without You�

death of a parent, the thoughts one might have after a parent dies

I feel so disconnected from everyone and everything,
This pain inside my heart never stops its burning sting.
You left, but I wasn’t ready,
My path doesn’t feel steady.
I dream of you, Remember you,
I don’t feel whole without you.
I cry because my laugh is no longer whole hearted,
It’s been silenced from what your death started.
Over and over that moment plays in my head,
All the feelings and words that should’ve been said.
I would give you my sight to hear your laughter,
I would give you my voice to hear your motherly chatter.
Everyday that passes I pray not to forget the little things,
Like when you would cook, how you would always sing.
Or when I had my first break up, and you wiped my tears,
I wept in your arms, as you reassured me there was nothing to fear.
The simple thought of just seeing your face,
Or to be able to feel your warm embrace.
That would bring more emotion to my unsteady mind,
Then thinking, between heaven and hell there’s just a thin line.
I walk in circles now not knowing what to do,
Life is now so different and empty without you.
