I keep the music turned up

I leave the kitchen light on

I read and write and smile

It's pointless

Youre no longer here...

I've stopped drawing

I've stopped dreaming

I've stopped talking

What's the use?

Youre no longer here...

I keep the music turned up

For if i don't the silence will consume me

I keep the kitchen light on

Or else i will fear to leave my room 'till dawn arrives

I read to bring myself to a happier place

I write to try and heal what pain reading cannot numb

I smile so Trish won't worry

It's pointless

Because youre no longer here...

You were my world, my life, my light

You were always so warm and full of spirit

Seeing you on the hospital bed,still as stone

It shook me

But it never really struck me that you were gone

'Till i took your lifeless, ice-cold hand in mine

The pain killed something inside of me

Every day i wake, looking for you in vain,

Something inside me dies a little more

I don't understand it

I don't like it

This isn't me!

I don't want to fade!I don't want to be forgotten!

Trish is here for me though

And that brings me comfort and happieness

But who will remember me when she is gone too?

I don't understand the world

So i hide away from it in this silent, empty house

You are no longer here

You can no longer help me understand

We knew each other so well, we knew what to say

I put your ashes upoun the highest shelf

I can no longer bear to look at them

For if i do, i will surely start screaming

I no longer celebrate the holidays

Nor my own birthday

What's the use?

You are not here to make them worthwile

I cannot feel much of anything most days now

This confuses me greatly

If emotions and desires make us human

And i am slowly but surely loseing mine

What does that make me?

Something less than human?

A heartless monster?

I do not know, and you are not here to tell me

Mother, I miss you so

Trish and i seem to be the only ones holding on to your memory

My siblings and so called family never even calles to pay respects

You were right about them

But it still hurts to think that they care so little for us

Youre no longer here

Your death a cruel dagger cutting me to bleed evermore

And it has killed everything that kept me sane.


END
