THE DAY YOU LEFT
The day you left, the world turned gray,
A silent scream echoed, night and day.
A storm of sorrow swept through my soul,
A piece of my heart, forever stole.
I search for answers in the void you left,
In memories, in whispers, in shadows bereft.
Your laughter now a distant, haunting sound,
A ghostly echo where love once was found.
The day you left, the sun refused to rise,
Tears fell like rain from clouded skies.
Every moment we shared, now tinged with pain,
A puzzle with pieces that won't fit again.
I wonder why you felt so alone,
In a world where love could not be shown.
I wish I’d seen beyond the brave facade,
To the silent struggles that you fought so hard.
The day you left, my heart broke in two,
A chasm of grief that I stumbled through.
Your smile, your touch, now memories dear,
But none can erase the ache I bear.
I rage at the silence that took you away,
At the words unspoken, at the games we’d play.
The “what ifs” and “if onlys” haunt my mind,
In the echoes of a love that time can't rewind.
The day you left, the stars lost their light,
A blanket of darkness covered the night.
I hold onto fragments of you, so dear,
In the hopes that your spirit is somehow near.
Your pain is over, your suffering ceased,
Yet here I am, with a sorrow that’s increased.
The day you left, by your own hand,
A riddle wrapped in the finest sand.
I miss you deeply, more than words can say,
In every breath, in every day.
The day you left, you took part of me too,
But I'll carry on, in honor of you.
