Slowly Dying

I'm overcome with grief as I slowly die inside. They tell me this is normal, and everything will be alright. I can't seem to eat a meal, or close my eyes to dream. All I visualize is your face, then accidentally scream. I can't seem to leave my home, whats the point anyways? Without you standing by my side life is nothing but a waste. Maybe soon enough I'll join you, as I slowly die inside. When I finally enter the gates of pearl everything will be alright.
