Lost You

It’s been several years since we last spoke.

I remember that night vividly.

A phone call earlier, a knock at the door later.

I remember losing you.

I remember each day,

what life is like without you in it.

You are long gone, with an earlier departure.

At times I feel like I can’t function.

Sometimes I have a hard time breathing.

Often things that came naturally to me,

no longer do.

I find it hard to focus and concentrate.

I miss you so much.

I don’t know what to say.

But when I hear your voice,

in my head,

I can’t help but cry myself to sleep,

alone,

without you.
