Don'T Tell Me 'Time Will Heal'

I slowly open up the door
Though now alone forevermore

I pause and call his name out loud
Look skywards as I search the clouds

We had 41 years together
We thought it would last forever

I try to recall the sound of his voice
As tears flow fast - my skin is moist

No reason now for me to go on
When all I loved and lived for has gone

How dare this world keep going
When my grief is overflowing

The people – don’t they even know
I lost the man that I loved so

Don’t tell me ‘time will heal’
You have no idea just how I feel

I want to curl up in a ball
There’s nothing left for me at all

With people all around me
Why do I feel so lonely...

Now all those years are in the past
My tears still flow, though not so fast

My memories have returned so clear
As I recall life with my dear

I did survive to smile again
To live a life despite the pain

But oh I yearn to hear his voice
Just one more time, how I’d rejoice

To share with him another day
To tell him things I did not say

But one day I am sure we’ll be
Together forever in eternity
