In My Heart You'Ll Stay

In my heart you'll stay.
Broken hearts. 
Painful tears. 
Confusing thoughts. 
Sleepless nights....

Peaceful winds. 
Thoughful faces. 
Gazing stares. 
Hopeful wishes.
Step by step. 
Closer and closer.
How empty we feel. 
How unthinkable the acts.
We want answers. 
We want justice.
We now have empty places. 
in our hearts and in our minds.
Chills down my spine.

What's the use of thinking, 
when there is no explanation?
It brings me to tears, 
and will... 
for so many more years.
I'm crying out! 
No - more like shouting out!
I pray but, still it's all just gray.
This weak tingle 
my bones start feeling -
when i try to put all the pieces together...
makes no sense.

The last puzzle piece is missing.
No one is smart enough to find it.
Metaphors do me no good anymore.
I want to go back in time 
and spare the loss.
Say goodbye one more time.
One last hug. 
One last kiss on the cheek.
One last joke. 
One last smile.
One last phrase  -"i love you."
I miss you.

I think about you.
Do you still think of me?
How proud you were of me?
There is however,
no doubt, something 
you didn't deserve..
Denial still.
It's hard to forget the memories, 
Thank God they'll never go away?
Someday?
In my heart you'll stay.

Can you still protect me?
This world is cold, you obviously know;
I'd rather have you back 
then to have sunshine, rain, or snow.
There is still one thing i want to know...

Why'd you have to go?
