Life Without You
Write a poem or short story about what life would be like without the person you care about the most.
Grey
What would I do
If I woke up one day to you gone?
Go mad?
Cry?
Pull my hair out one by one
And lie?
Saying I’m fine…
But you are gone.
How can I be fine,
When I used to call you mine?
Our world was just us
And now it’s just me
And I miss you.
I can’t help that I do.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
You tell me to stop apologizing,
I can’t.
You’re not here
Like you used to be.
Here to warm my feet…
Here to play D&D…
Here to dye my hair
And it’s not fair.
It’s not fair
That I had to let you go.
I just hope that you know,
I will never not miss you.
Every second of every day,
You’re on my mind
And I just pray
That you are at least going to be okay.
Because I’m not,
At least - not right now.
My world is grey without your light.
You said you would be my light
But now I sleep through the day,
With nightmares through the night.
Night terrors that remind me
Just how much you loved me.
Night terrors that remind me
We cannot be.
My world is grey without you, yes.
My thoughts are obviously also a mess.
My stomach is in my throat
And the thoughts swirl with nowhere to go.
Nowhere to form
Except to say
I would miss you.
