Life without you
Beth Davis 1962 (Texas)
They're your friends
But you're gone now
We're here for you they all claim
What you're going through is normal
We understand
We love you
They don't even know me
I've only ever met a few of them, briefly
How can you love someone you don't know?
You knew me, mostly
I stand on the abyss screaming
You have no clue who I am
You wouldn't like me if you did
I've been dislikeable all my life
While you were with me
There's was finally someone who cared
But you're gone now
There's no reason for me to go on
Except our daughter
A fully grown adult
For her I have to live
The rest of my life without you
I hate this life
I despise this world
Life without you
Is surely not worth living
