You‘re gone

You’re gone, but the silence still screams,

I’m stuck in a world that’s ripped at the seams.

I see your face in every light,

but you’re only here in the dead of night.

I try to speak, but the words won’t stay,

they fall like rain and wash me away.

My heart keeps beating, but it’s missing a part,

and I’m learning to live with a broken heart.

I cry in the dark, but I rise with the dawn,

I fall to the floor, then I keep moving on.

Your voice in my head, like a ghost in my chest,

tells me to fight, tells me to do my best.

I keep going, even though you’re gone,

I keep breathing, even though the nights are long.

I keep fighting, even when I’m weak,

I keep hoping, even when I can’t speak.

⸻

Sometimes the pain is a heavy chain,

it drags me down like a pouring rain.

But I hear you whisper, “don’t give in,”

and I feel your love beneath my skin.

I’m not the same, but I’m still here,

I hold your memory, I hold it dear.

You taught me strength, you taught me grace,

so I’ll keep your name in every place.

I cry in the dark, but I rise with the dawn,

I fall to the floor, then I keep moving on.

Your voice in my head, like a ghost in my chest,

tells me to fight, tells me to do my best.

I keep going, even though you’re gone,

I keep breathing, even though the nights are long.

I keep fighting, even when I’m weak,

I keep hoping, even when I can’t speak.

⸻

I build new days from the ash of your time,

I turn my pain into rhythm, my sorrow into rhyme.

You’re not gone, you’re just out of sight,

and I’ll carry your love into every fight.

I keep going, even though you’re gone,

I keep breathing, even though the nights are long.

I keep fighting, even when I’m weak,

I keep hoping, even when I can’t speak.
