Eternal Breath

I am lost without you
My cries longing for your touch.
I scream in anger "I Need You!"
Why did you have to go?
My heart is broken, like shattered glass 
into a million pieces.
 I lay in agony on the floor.
Can't eat or sleep, time stands still.
Waiting but knowing you will never come
back to me.
Pictures scattered with tear drop stains.
Nothing can seem to heal my pain but time. 
Until I take my dying breath your memories
I will keep.
