I Never Thought

I woke up today wanting to see 
him
But knowing I couldn't
I wonder how he could leave 
me like this 
I cry over him all the time 
I wonder if he knew how much 
I love him 
I wake up every morning 
thinking it was all a dream 
But I'm soon reminded by the 
emptiness in my heart that it 
was all real 
Everyone tells me they are 
sorry and it's going to be ok 
But I know they are all wrong
So I walk through the doors 
and down the isle with tears 
blinding my vision 
I stop in front of him
I lean down and give him my 
last kiss and whisper to him 
that I love him
I know he can't feel my kiss or 
hear my words but I know he's 
always watching me 
His casket is closed
I leave with a broken heart and 
a life time of memories that will 
haunt me forever.

Well done, you've expressed the emotions very well here, nice to leave the reader wondering who he was, father, lover, child.
