Darkness fills the air

Nothings new

Darkness has always filled the air

But it’s different now

I haven’t seen the sun

Well at least since you’ve been gone

No more sweet scents of baking every day

No more shopping

No more arguments

No more tuck ins

No more hugs and no more kisses

No more “do my hair” or “does my outfit look good”

No more “don’t do this” or “don’t do that”

No more softball games in spring

No more laughs and no more shouts

No more birthdays parties where we go all out

No more board games no more walks

No more church and no more “talks”

I think about you everyday

And when I think you came back

The sun doesn’t show

I think to myself

Maybe I’ll see you one day

Because life without is pretty gray
