Empty In The Quiet

I wake to the silence,

It cuts like a knife.

Your side of the bed is

Still cold every night.

I try to move forward,

But nothing feels right—

I’m lost in the pieces

You left out of sight.

And I miss you,

More than words can show.

The days feel heavy,

And the nights move slow.

I hold your memory

Everywhere I go—

I miss you,

More than you could know.

I sit by the window,

Your name in my mind.

Wish I could follow

The hours behind.

If love could reach you,

If grief could rewind—

I’d bring you back home,

Hold you close this time.

I still hear your voice

In the dark when I’m near sleep.

I tell you to stay,

But the shadows never keep.

And I miss you,

More than words can show.

The days feel heavy,

And the nights move slow.

I hold your memory

Everywhere I go—

I miss you,

More than you could know.
