Still
As I awaken, thoughts of you are vivid,
just yesterday your laughter rang in my ears.
while I slumbered tears soaked my pillow,
because we were together in my dreams.
I weep, I mourn, I remember still.
Your voice is ever present in my mind,
with words of endearment and love.
Your old house haunting me with memories,
I can't pass by there, I can't bear it, still.
The love you have given me flows just like the wind,
however your warmth has grown cold as freezing rain,
it seems nothing without you is the same,
I yearn, I miss you more everyday, still.
The day when I can see your face,
is way too far away, i wish you were here,
now for today and always, d*mn a fallen star you were,
I dream, I wish, I want, more time, still.
Appreciation for you I had not given, not enough,
Actions of love yet to be displayed, too late.
Quality time you craved, neglected, to my demise,
I cry, I regret, I am no longer whole, still.
