My Nights Without You

My  nights  seem  endlessly  long,
empty,  and  cold.
Here  all  alone,
As  I  lie  crying,
on  your  side  of  our  bed.
flooding  the  pillows,
with  my  never - ending  tears.


I  see  images  of  you  in  my  dreams.
When  I   close  my  eyes  to  sleep,
Memories  of  you, 
and  how  it  used  to  be.

All  I  want  to  do  is  to  forget  you,
but  the  memories  that  you  left  behind,
won't  let  me  erase  you  from  my  mind.

With  our   love  together,
I  was  like  a  rose  blooming.
Without  you,
all  I  want  to  do  is  wither.

The  storm  was  at  it's  worst  yesterday,
bad  today,  maybe  it  will  be  better  tomorrow.
Wishing  you  were  here,
chasing  away  all  my  sorrow.
