HOW DO WE DO IT?

How do we do it? How do we go on when the ones that we love are no more? How do we face it, when each day is done and there’s no footsteps crossing the floor? When the house is so empty, and so is your heart and the silence can drive you insane When the memories of love lost, are all that we have and the night’s filled with nothing but pain When your arms are just empty and nobody’s there when you sit down to breakfast each day and the tea pot stands idle, as now there’s just one and there’s tears on the bed where you lay And the days stretch away into meaningless haze Because all that you lived for is gone There’s no one to care for and nothing to do and you can’t find the strength to go on Old photos remind you of all that you had that now has been taken away and you know in your heart that you just can’t go on There’s just no more reason to stay... For what is the point of a hollow existence Where every day turns out the same and the pain never goes, because nothing can heal it and the darkness just whispers their name 2/4/2025
