Grief

While you weren't here I cried every night A million tears fell Still my heart wasn't right While you weren't here I did what I could Hoping against hope My decisions were good While you weren't here I gained some in age Things just went on And life turned a page While you weren't here I just tried to go on Knowing what didn't kill me Would only make me strong While you weren't here A whole lot got changed My life became different My world rearranged While you weren't here I had to learn to be alone To stand on my two feet To make my own home So that's where I am now At this stage of my life Still scared and alone Still coping with strife And oh how I wish that Things could be different That I could go back To a time in the past To a time before You weren't here
