Paralyzing Reminiscence

This is the hardest day of my life, Ever since you've been gone there is this strife. I try so hard to hold together the debris, But no matter the struggle it breaks free. It engulfs and consumes me, I feel as though I cannot breathe. Wishing, hoping for time to freeze, Rewind to before this horrid dream. To tell you I love you, To hug you again. Just to hear your voice one more time, And yet never again. How do I hold on, How do I pretend. To be fine inside, When it always feels as though it is the end. I pray for one more day, I beg for one more glimpse. I wish with all my heart, To have you here again. Yet to no avail, It never works. I can't seem to break, This never ending curse. They say you are here, That you are always nearby. Yet I can't see you, Even in my darkest cry. Why you left, I cannot fathom, When I needed you here. My love was not enough to save you, Not even every single tear. My soul is drowning, From the absence of you. No matter how hard I try, I still don't know what to do.
