"My Life, Since You Left?"

The pillow where you laid your head;
Is empty now, within our bed.
I can't believe you've left me now;
And I have to carry on, somehow.

Each morning I wake, to a new day;
I realize, that you've gone away.
I look around, and then I see;
That you're no longer next to me.

I go through each day, without any feeling;
I guess perhaps, my hearts still reeling.
Every day is just like the last;
And all I can think of, is the past.

I wander around, I am in a daze;
I feel totally lost, as if in a maze.
I'm going someplace, but I don't know where:
The sun is shining, but I really don't care.

The birds may be singing, it falls on deaf ears;
I can't see a thing, through all of my tears.
When you went away, and we broke apart;
You took all the love, that was left in my heart.

I now live my life, just one day at a time;
My life has no purpose, no reason or rhyme.
But, I will continue to go on as I am;
And hope that one day, I may love again.
