You Were My Everything
You were torn away from me
I held you close but still it happened
You will always be close to my heart
But I will never again hold you
Hold you tightly in my arms
Every morning I wake and reach for you
But my hands only encounter air
Then reality returns and the tears fall
The tears just keep coming
Maybe one day I will get over the loss of you
You were everything meaningful in my life
But for now I will just hold the memories close
Hold them close as the tears stream down my face
You were my everything and I miss you with all my heart
Why were you taken from me
My happiness ended in the blink of an eye
It felt like my heart was ripped from my chest
My life feels empty without you
I no longer feel the joy you filled me with
I am lost without your love
There is a hole in my heart
A hole that only you could fill
But with you gone it only grows
Grows slowly until finally it will leave nothing
I know you would never want me sad
But I can never be happy without you
You were my reason to live
And without you I feel like dieing
You would hate if I gave up on life
But my life ended the day you were taken from me
How can you want me to keep living without your love
You took my love of life with you
And it will never return because it was you
You were my joy, and pain, and love
You were my past, and present
But you can no longer be my future
You were supposed to be my future
You were supposed to hold me close
Hold me and tell me everything would be fine
Who will do that now
Who will kiss away my tears
Who will banish my darkest fears
No one can ever fill this hole you left
I never wanted any one else to fill it
I only wanted you
But that's impossible now
And it always will be
