Whatâs life without
Some adventure,
They say
Whatâs life without a
Little trauma, they say
Whatâs life
Without Jesus,
I say
Lifeâs difficult when
Trying to live it by yourself
Yet I am
Terrified to be
All alone
I continuously try
To remind myself
That I canât be alone
When Heâs always
By my side
Iâd rather have
Him by my side,
Than be barely
Living this life
Without hope
Plus ...
You left my nose running,
Like a faucet that won't stop,
Dripping endlessly,
Leaving me in a state of discomfort,
Searching for a tissue,
To stop the flow of mucus,
But you, my dear, are nowhere to be found.
Your absence is felt keenly,
As I sniffle and sneeze,
Attempting to clear my sinuses,
But all in vain,
For you are not here to offer comfort,
Or fetch me some medicine,
To ease my symptoms an...
Woahhhhh
16 years ago you were born
How amazing
I mean think abt it if you were never born so much bad crap wouldâve happened
I probably wouldâve went a wall and made some really crappy decisions if you were never born I mean I still make bad decisions but they wouldâve been wayyyyyyy worse if you werenât born
And like the amount of songs that wouldâve never been made if you just didnât exist...
Itâs times like these when I miss you the most
When I miss your hug, your smile, your positive attitude
The one thing that was guarenteed to cheer me up when I was having a bad day
I miss having lunch with you
And hearing your laugh from across the room
And I miss meeting you in the hall
Just to get your great big hugs
I miss seeing you in the morning
Crowded around our favorite teachers class...
Life without you is dark and cold.
My finger no longer feel, for the coldness have spelled them numb.
Life without you is dreadful.
I canât seem to find energy, nor can I see sleep.
Life with out you is dead.
Your glowing presence and loving nature is gone.
Color has ceased to exist and with it happiness.
I wish youâd come back, but you never will because I grew up.
You canât bring back yo...
We all sit together outside after school, waiting for our rides to come. You and I are drawing in my sketchbook. Your sister is laughing with her best friend. Glasses looks at us from behind her phone.
âOh, yeah, about you leavingââ
I bolt up, pencil dropping on the side walk. I turn to you, a fire of betrayal burning in my eyes. âYouâre leaving?â
You look at me with an apologetic face. Your si...

**Empty spaces where your laughter once echoed,**
**Silence heavy as winter's first snow.**
**Days stretch long, colorless and cold,**
**Like a story with pages untold.**
****
**I reach for memories, fading wisps of you,**
**Trying to fill the void that remains.**
**But life without you is a half-finished painting,**
**A song without its refrain.**

**Yet somehow, the world keeps tur...
Someone mentions your name and for a split second youâre real again
And I think to myself that if I could just talk about you
Hear about you until the end of my days
Then maybe that would calm down my grief
Calm down my sorrow
Unfortunately it never is enough
It will never be enough to fill the gap that you left in me
I can only hope that someday
Iâll be able to talk about you without fe...
The prompt is âlife without youâ
But to describe what itâd be like without you
I have to describe how it is with you
Itâs like a hot day and youâre the sunshine
Itâs like sorrow but youâre the relief
Itâs like drawings but youâre the color
Youâre the thing that makes things good
The smile on someoneâs face
The warmth from the sun
The comfort movie
But⊠youâre also the thing
That makes things...
If you left
Your pain we hold together wouldnât leave with you
Id never drop the burdens we share instead Iâd carry them alone
My pain I share with you would fall back to its place
Without you Iâd suffocate
Iâd be swallowed by the struggles
My love for you with no where to go would become steal
Itâd form chains
Iâd be held captive by those chains of grief
for eternity
Youâd make a sound
Youâd...
