Another Year Without You
Christmas and New Year
are over again.
But just like last year,
I still feel the pain.
I keep telling myself that
the loneliness will ease.
But another year goes by
and the tears do not cease.
For I had it all when you were
by my side.
Everything was taken away
the day that you died.
I’ve met other people, but
they’re just not you.
I know it’s not fair,
they haven’t a clue
Why sometimes when things to my
eyes bring a tear,
They don’t understand.
It just makes them fear
That in my heart they don’t
stand a chance,
That you were my partner
in every day's dance.
Everyone says that
time heals the pain.
But that just makes me wonder
why tears fall like rain
On the fresh fallen snow of
my already frozen heart.
I just wish they’d stop.
I wish healing would start.
But until it does, I’ll continue
to grieve,
until someone comes along and
my heart can retrieve.
