The Life After

The Life After

The days we were together are the best thoughts I can remember.
Did you know you changed me forever?
You helped me to see all the locked potential I could ever be.
You set my heart free in a place I never wanted to leave
but it seems In heaven you loved me
and In life you won't even talk to me.

I can tell you about the nights I wake up and cry
from the dreams of all the moments that have passed us by
and how I go through my whole day wondering why.

How could you just let yourself die?
You were too valuable just to say goodbye.
Did you believe their lies?
Is that why you didn't even try?

Well what about me?
What about my thoughts and my dreams
and how does it feel to shut your eyes to my screams?

I hope you know it's not easy being alone.
Every day the same meaningless drone.
and no matter how many possessions I earn...
I feel there is nothing to own.

Despite you thinking you're so easily replaced... I didn't move on.
You have a piece of me you took when you left and now it's gone.

It's a shame that you'll never know
that someone really loved you so.
Someone you meant a lot to...
Someone who didn't want to see you go.

I don't think you realized the impact.
that you had the power to make someone's soul intact
and I'm sorry if it turns out I lack the power to help you see that fact.

I can't help but wonder how easy it was to leave
the only person who ever wanted to help you see?
Did you even take a moment to greave?
Or did you really believe
that you weren't good for me?

What did you think, that without you I would be great?
Like I wouldn't curse fate?
Be on my way and find peace with another mate?
Like anyone else could just find the key to my heart's gate?

Well you were wrong
and if you ask me it's been far too long.
Everyday is a fight just to remember myself and stay strong.
The only thing that keeps me going is the hope that someday you'll come along.

You were the best.
I still wear you on my heart like a shining crest
and I'll never forget.

Wonderful piece, very touching. Memory lane opened here to me too. Yes one thinks the world would stop turning - but it doesn't. One wonders why our aching hearts keep on beating when there's no one anymore for who to beat to that special rhythm. Only one reason why - because life won't stop here, even if it feels like it, but it simply wasn't meant to be! After things settle down life will take its course, and it will lead us down the path fate long ago choose for us to go. Soon a new smiling sunshine will haunt our thoughts.

Beautifully done. Really gut-wrenching. Great write. I enjoyed it immensely!
