Empty Words

I sat upon a midday noon clasping my last letter from you, with thoughts I quiver knowing you are gone. A war you fought so brave and well this story I now tell, together and yet apart I seek only one more moment with you. Lost and undone as my teardrops drip onto this page, I question not the reason why my lost love had to die. I only ask you wait for me in a special spot in heaven, for without you I am lost wondering on earth alone. I clasp onto your last words as if you were here by me, at night I reach for you only to find an empty pillow. Your laughter and smiles still exist in my broken heart, to say I miss you does not tell this story for those, are just empty words without you!
