Life Without You
Life Without You
Today and every day is just the same
A bunch of nothingness without you
What is life when you can't enjoy it
I wake up on repeat and autopilot
Just waiting for your touch, your kiss
That will never again be felt
Death is a bitch but living is worse
Life without you is death
Waiting to be released from this prison
I wish I could say
I saw you today when the sun rose
I heard you today in a child's laughter
I felt you today when the wind blew
What bullshit that is
Nothing is you, nothing will ever be
You were my smile, my joy
That day is still on replay in my head
Your lifeless body laying on that bed
The sounds of beeping and cries
I guess death takes the good young
No more pain, no more hurt
I try to tell myself that
Nothing will ever be the same
Life will never be the same
I will never be the same
About this poem
This poem is about how I felt when my 30 year old husband died. I was 28 years old at the time with 3 kids and no real support. I decided to write this to possibly help others in similar situations.
