ALONE *new poem*
..
It has been 2 days, 14 hours and 7 minutes, since they told me you were no longer coming home;
I lay here staring at an empty pillow,
This house is so quiet when you are alone
..
I am surrounded by walls filled with love,
But today I just feel cold;
Your life is now an incomplete story,
We had a future just waiting to unfold
..
I am so tired of hearing the phone ringing,
So I pulled the plug from the wall;
I keep trying to ring your mobile, but it keeps diverting my call
..
Hours spent listening to your answering machine,
I keep hearing your soft voice whisper,
“Please leave a message after the beep”;
I am now living in a broken dream, as I drift in and out of sleep
..
Through my heavy eyes I see floating angels up there in the sky;
How can I plan a funeral when I don’t want to say goodbye
..
Sometimes I dream you are still alive,
But when I wake up I fall right back to the start;
I guess I am stuck here wondering, just how I can live if I have lost my heart
..
I keep seeing your face in the mirror, but each time I reach out to touch you your face just fades away;
My curtains block out the world,
So I couldn’t even tell you if it’s the night or the day
..
My life has fallen into the darkness,
I wish I could talk to you just one last time, but I am told heaven doesn’t have a phone;
I may have spent a lifetime trying to find you,
But now I am alone.
