Me Without You
Days are long, yet I persist,
Through the storm and all its mist,
Clinging to the pictures bright,
Memories in softest light.
Daily struggles, I stand strong,
Every step, I move along,
In the silence, I survive,
Finding ways to stay alive.
Hope endures within my chest,
Though apart, I give my best,
His love fuels my inner fire,
Strength in each and every tire.
Unbreakable, I remain,
Facing life, despite the pain,
Me without you, still I fight,
Guided by our shared light.

Haunted by His Scent
In the quiet
I find his shirt
Folded neatly,
Left from that day.
I hold it close
And breathe in deep,
His cologne
Still lingers.
Every room
Holds a trace,
An echo
Of him.
I talk to the walls,
Pretend he’s here,
Feel the ache
Of absence.

Is a ghost,
A reminder
Of love,
Of waiting,
Of nights alone.
I cling to it,
This fragment
Of what was,
Of what will be.

Smiling faces, times of cheer,
Now just memories held dear.
Edges worn, the colors fade,
Stories told in light and shade,
Holding on to what remains,
Love persists through joys and pains.
Lonely nights, I sit and gaze,
Lost in long-forgotten days,
Faded photos, ties that bind,
Fragments of a love confined.

In his arms, my heart’s reprieve,
Till he’s home, these pictures stay,
Guiding me through each new day.

Stillness wraps, I must stay calm,
Man of mine, locked far away,
Hopes and fears in shadows lay.
Loneliness, a heavy chain,
Every tear, a silent pain,

Guides me through the endless dark.

Through the sorrow, through the chains,
Caged heart waits, a steadfast beat,
Till the day we finally meet.
