I Mourn
I mourn you every waking day
With you not here the world has changed
I mourn you now with silent cries
A river of heartache that never dries
I miss you so much I'm emotionally drained
I think of you and smile but then it's followed by pain
I mourn you in the present while I cling on to the past
Hoping that your memory will forever last
I mourn you right now like I did yesterday
I mourn that you will never grow old, as time starts to fade
I mourn the fact that you were gone in a breath
I mourn because I'm human and can't accept death
