Holding onto memories
of a world passing by,
that leaves behind a broken heart
and the lasting questions, "Why?"

Why is life so fragile?
why is Love so cruel,
to leave behind a simple mind
and a broken hearted fool?

I spent a life denying
the obvious, it's true,
still it seems like yesterday
I fell in Love with you.

Should I be expected to let it go,
without a hint of fear?
How am I to carry on,
if your no longer here?

Expressions of my feelings
are wanton, copious and bold,
yet loosed upon this empty void
they turn out lost and cold.

I looked to you for strength,
when I could muster none,
now I search for memories
hidden from the sun.

Come back to me in my time of need,
calm my mortal fears.
Take my hand and guide my soul,
my heart is filled with tears.
