Daily Reminders

Your scent lingers in the air
Reminding me of you when you're not there

Each time I awake in the morning
I remember it's you I'm Mourning

The emptiness surrounds me as I try to start
Mirroring the emptiness inside my heart

A momentary pause, I gather myself
Trying to think of something else

Shadows of you still everywhere I look
Memories of all the things that you took

Not possessions but the shards of my heart
That you once pieced together, at our start

Destroyed to my very core
Because you and I are no more

My day filled with thoughts of you
The good and bad we had been through

Wishing you loved me even half as much
Missing even the slightest touch

Wanting to say "honey I'm home" each day I walk through that door
Quickly remembering that we're no more

I sit staring, something on the tv
But can't help but dwell on what you meant to me

A shower and then back to bed
Where I fall asleep dreaming of us again

This endless cycle as I struggle to go on
I awake to do it all over again, at the break of dawn
