When You Left

When you left you took my heart,
and life as I knew it just fell apart.
The days they come and go so fast,
they march right on...how will I last?
Take each day...first one...then two,
this is what I was told to do.
It will get better my friends they say,
I wonder when...it's not today.
For when you left...I gave up hope.
For others sake...I try and cope.
They didn't know you this I feel,
I hardly believe that this is real.
Wake me up for surly I'm dreaming,
those nights alone I wake up screaming.
Too much to bare...too much I say,
since the day you went away.
If you are truly up above,
I send you dear...my deepest love.
                                                       P.R. Deremer
