Gone Forever

 

I haven't lived since you left,

and life's just not the same.

This nightmare, this dark fantasy,

is a life only in name.

 

I feel so old now, so very tired,

worn by a vain effort to understand,

to find a deeper meaning to my life

and my experience.

 

This emptiness, your absence,

bears down on me, an awful weight,

an unbearable burden

in the depths of my memory.

 

I remember dreams of yesterday

gone, now, like a shifting fog,

the hopeful future blown away,

and tomorrow will be never.

 

I know you're gone forever.
