I don't believe it

I won't believe it

I can't believe you're gone

That there are no more years that you will live

And no more love that you can give

Your heart as cold as any stone

At the table a seat stays empty

A chair undrawn

A plate unfilled

A laugh unlaughed

A drink unspilled

Dinner for one, not two

Dinner for me but not for you

There's a gap near the crook of my elbow

A gap where you used to be

Always on the straight and narrow

The way you always seemed to me

It's just a story to deceive

I should not cry, I should not grieve

You did not die, it's just untrue

But still I weep at night for you.
