Silence

Silence

Not an hour passes I don't think of you

It seems like you were all I ever knew.

We were inseparable for so many years

But now I have the memories and tears

To keep me company when I feel alone

To put your presence in this empty home

Where we spentĀ many wonderful momentsĀ 

Where I nursed you through your ailments.

But now I ask why things happen as they do

I ask myself if I can possibly see this through

To discoverĀ someĀ reason to smile once more

To be something of that personĀ I was before.

I know I can not come to accept your passing.

With you gone, theĀ silence is deafening.

I wrote this thinking of a family friend who lost his wife to cancer. She lit up anywhere with her presence. You couldn't believe the silence once she was no longer here. He struggles to this day without her,Ā even though she left us years ago.

Wishing you all the best my friend.

Take care. Ā :)
