Today I feel just emptiness
I am numb more or less,
I can’t believe you are gone forever,
Will this agony end ever?
Your face shines before my eyes,
I couldn’t even say goodbye,
I never knew those words would be last,
Each memory I want to grasp,
There are so many questions,
Beyond my comprehension,
It’s said it is darkest before dawn,
Can you ever forget those gone?
Just want to turn back the time,
Is this all fate’s cruel design?
I wish it was all just a nightmare,
And I would wake up to a world with no care,
Today I feel just emptiness,
I am numb more or less.
