When the Sun went Cold

My Sun was snatched from the sky 

Living in a cold world no longer lit by you 

My tears freeze before shattering upon the ground 

Broken glass like my broken heart 

Your warmth no longer warms me 

I’m an empty void of nothingness, I can no longer feel 

My emotions are dead, vague memories of yesteryears 

I once felt so much love, so much hope, so much… 

Now I only see you in dreams, if I am privileged with sleep 

My eyes are swollen and my heart is heavy 

I don’t want to live without you here 

Oh God, why did I have to stay here? 

Every day that the wind blows I look up and feel your breath upon my face 

I feel your touch surrounding me 

I love you ever so dearly 

As I lay down to sleep, relax my mind and guide my dreams 

I want to remember happy times and a joyful mind 

I now live in despair 

Afraid to tell people how I really feel, because if I did they’d probably commit me 

My sun no longer shines 

Cold world, frozen tears and endless despair 

You ever tried sleeping with a broken heart 

  

I can’t sleep in our bed….
