Now That You're Gone

My love for you was immense

And I cannot believe I'm speaking in past tense

If you ask me why I have written this

It is because without you, I am stuck in an abyss

Now that you are gone I don't know how to live on

So I became secluded and withdrawn

Because every time I think I can pull through

Memories just hit me out of the blue

Or it is through small, everyday occurrences

That your presence resurfaces 

You have left pieces of yourself everywhere

And I hate I will have experiences I can no longer share

Life has started to feel like a personal apocalypse

You were my sun and it feels like an eternal eclipse

But tonight I looked up to the sky and felt hope

Because I found a way to cope

Thinking that although it was night
There was still light

So instead of my sun, I will now see you as my moon

And I cannot wait to go to heaven and see you soon
