I lost my ability to write, with you
I lost it in the absence of your smile
You were no great loss to me until
You were gone, now I am hostile
I forgot how to speak, how to hear
I even forgot how to love as a friend
A lesson of pain at such a high cost
I never saw myself where I descend
I sit and I wait for the impossible
I know you will not be back to heal
My aching chest, my cause, my hope
Carved out from me, a void surreal
You seized a part of me, with you
It washed into nothing as you passed
Never to return, my spirit splintered
God forbid what has crept in fast
Delving darker than I have been
Thinking obscurely, senses impaired
What I might do, or never do again
I could not have been less prepared
I lost my want to dream, with you
I lost it the moment I heard the news
You were all I ever struggled to be
Oh, had I known what I might lose...
