Two Weeks
Two weeks have gone, since we spoke last
and all I see are flashes of a distant past
The mourners came and celebrated
Your life now over, now belated
I twist and turn but find no causality
that would lead me to a path of normality
To turn me around to the normal life
That existed before, now I lean on my wife
Where did you go, I implore
as my silent tears flow for evermore
Once you were here, now you are gone
Did I ever notice how brightly you shone
Did I feel your emotions, did I see your tears
I know I was aware of your inner fears
A void has opened, dare it be filled
Without you here I feel ever chilled
The silence surrounds me
Absence is no friend
To whom of my life did I so lend
The inner me that was once here
Now seeks to shed that inner tear
But the silence engulfs my by rote
As death emotes the silence emitted from my throat
Where are you now, do you see my fear
How can I continue knowing that you are not here?
