Six months have passed since you walked out on me Wearily I climb the stairs and try to sleep My tears freely flow and my lilac pillow is soaked I have to swap it with the one where your head used to lay I’m lost without you I shut my eyes tightly but all I can see is your face Now I truly know what heartbreak is The pain is like nothing I have ever known Like glass shards piercing my heart I’m lost without you My life is empty without you by my side No one to share my fears and wipe away my tears No one to curl up with and share my love I want it all to end I’m lost without you Feel like I can’t go on I take comfort in the bottle Have lost my job, lost my dignity I have lost everything I once held so dear I’m lost without you Friends say it will get better I will pick up and move on But when you find ‘the one’ Why settle for anyone else I’m lost without you I can’t go on drowning in a river of tears For me there is no tomorrow I have no wish to carry on So this is goodbye Without you – I’m lost 03~07~15 Contest Tammy Reams – The Pain Of Night - N/A

It's a lovely term for this type of contest Sandra:-) I think of the contest as 'the one that got away rather than screwed as I have missed out purely with glitches not because the poem wasn't worthy:-) Hugs jan xx

Hi Jan, yes the pain of the night is very real and very deep as we lay alone in the depths of our sorrow. Good luck in the contest with this brilliant write! Hugs and love, Kimberly xx PS: I understand that it is fiction, yet many of us can relate with that person.
