Without You Here
without you here, I miss you
that’s the only truth I can give
at a time like this
when I walk the empty hallways of your home
with only your ghost
and want you to remind me
that I’m okay
that I’m not alone
that you’re here
you’re not going anywhere
because it would mean so much to me
to hear your voice
if only for a moment
at a time like this
when all is dark and dreary
to have some hope at the light returning
another sunrise
but it won’t happen
because you’re not here
because you’re gone
I cannot reach you
because you chose to leave
I wrote this poem after a good friend attempted to remove themselves from the world to make some attempt to show them what they would leave behind, a world without them
