Jayden Giles Poet Elegy

How Do I Live On

How do I continue to live this life that is no longer the same
How do I walk down the streets without searching for your face
It’s Quiet
Our house that was a made a home by your presence feels empty
My heart feels empty
Emotions vacant
No one lives there but grief
I close my eyes waiting for the sandman but even he knows there’s no life within these walls
I cry and beg for Father Time to turn back his hands to when you were here
When you were here…
Memories of your laughter and boisterous voice echos down the halls
I wake up wanting the day to be over
I wake up missing you
I wake up not knowing how to continue to live
Should I continue to live
Do I deserve to continue to…
Your smile, your voice, your love, your presence
I see
You are the reason I should continue to live
But how do I live without you here.
