Without You

Folder: 
Ian L.

Going through all my many changes,

Even though you never realized,

The drama, horror, and victory

Is not the same without you.



I don't like to admit

How far apart we've become,

Or how long it's been

Since you've been by my side.

I can't help but wonder

What goes through your head

While I pretend

Everything is just fine;

But this attitude

Makes all the difference.



Not speaking to you

Is like loosing family.

Counting the days

Brings damage to my soul.

Maybe it's from

Your own mistakes,

Or my own faults,

But I know the silence is something

That's killing me.



I think about how

You entered my life,

And the impact you've made.

Whether good or bad,

I wouldn't be

So close to complete

Without You.



Maybe one of us

Took the wrong turn,

Or it's some

Last minute decision

To become different people.

And the symptoms from before

Were all signs of change.

Either way,

I'm not the same without you



The deep lines of your face

I'm beginning to forget,

But it hurts to look at you

And try to remember.

Even from far away

It brings tears to my eyes,

And I think,

"There goes a piece of my heart"



I hope you notice

The space in between,

And the ground

Bitter cold.

Whether you care or not,

I still need you to know

That I miss you.
