The Greatest Loss

Staggering I walk in a blanket of despair I search for you knowing that you are not there They said of your passing in a short telegram Beligerance yielding my mind like a dam The future is chaotic so I choose not to think Within the bed we shared I fall slowly and sink Into the deep down pillows tainted with your scent Reminiscing of our lives together spent Sleep awaits needy like a child for love I beg for answers from the Lord above I must go on, says a voice in my head I stare to the floor at the tears I've shed I must rid my soul of the love we shared But as I close my eyes all I can be now is scared.
