Paralyzing Reminiscence

This is the hardest day of my life,
Ever since you've been gone there is this strife.
I try so hard to hold together the debris,
But no matter the struggle it breaks free. 

It engulfs and consumes me,
I feel as though I cannot breathe.
Wishing, hoping for time to freeze,
Rewind to before this horrid dream. 

To tell you I love you,
To hug you again. 
Just to hear your voice one more time,
And yet never again. 

How do I hold on,
How do I pretend. 
To be fine inside,
When it always feels as though it is the end. 

I pray for one more day,
I beg for one more glimpse.
I wish with all my heart, 
To have you here again. 

Yet to no avail,
It never works. 
I can't seem to break,
This never ending curse. 

They say you are here,
That you are always nearby.
Yet I can't see you,
Even in my darkest cry. 

Why you left, I cannot fathom,
When I needed you here. 
My love was not enough to save you,
Not even every single tear.

My soul is drowning,
From the absence of you. 
No matter how hard I try,
I still don't know what to do.
