Beloved Husband

How can we say goodbye
When we didn't have enough time
together

To do everything we should have done
How can it be over like this
Forever

I never expected you to be gone
And not ever come back to me
In this life

I took for granted all the things we had
Now I don't know how to not be sad
after all, I am your wife

Why didn't I tell you how much I cared
Was there ever a time when you couldn't tell
after everything we shared
I pray you know how I felt

Tears will stain my eyes for days
Pain will stain my heart forever
I will always love you and 
I will be truly happy again never

I am stuck in a haze with no clear escape
How can I go on without you
When you were my getaway car
How will I make it through

My life has been turned upside down
And I don't know how to right the ship
If I could turn it around 
I would go wherever you are right now

Please make this hurt go away
And let me go where you are
In Heaven Above

I want to be with you 
And nobody can stop me
I am too in love

And without you in my arms every night
I cannot go on
I refuse to keep this up after a while

I slowly begin to close my eyes and begin to fade away
As the pill bottle falls to the floor
I start to smile

This poem just oozes sadness and loss, and no greater loss than a close loved one >> James
