Until you were gone.


The dark is here, and now its night,
but I can sleep no more,
cause deep down something’s just not right,
my heart with grief is sore.
I’m losing grip coping with your loss,
its painful night and day,
I’ve never before felt so lost,
even though I know the way.
Holding on to your memories,
I’m still holding on,
never knew how much I’d miss you,
until you were gone.

You knew you were my one and only,
with whom my life I’d spend,
so why have you left me here lonely
and brought this to an end?
I wish I had been there with you every time you needed me,
I regret that I wasn’t all I promised you I’d be.
And now I’ve grown like autumn leaves strewn around all forlorn,
never knew how much I’d need you,
until you were gone.

Let me feel your sweet love again,
the love that was always there,
I know I didn’t give as much,
you thought I didn’t care.
My love for you is in my heart,
but I had rarely shown,
I cared about you from the start,
I wish that you had known.
I didn’t express how much your love and care meant to me,
I never knew that soon enough in such a state I’d be.
Its much too late to go back now and undo what I’ve done,
but Lord please give me a chance, I know I’ll just need one.
I spend the night in grief,
my heart’s still sore at dawn,
cause I hadn’t realized it all,
until you were gone.

it really is very good. very long its going to be a song, but its one of those songs you will put on repeat if that is the case that it is to be a song! either way, i'd listen to it for sure.

Me, myself and I said...

It's actually a poem. I started off with poems and now I dabble with songwriting a little. So there's no tune for it.
Glad to know you think it's good :)
