Christmas and New Year are over again. But just like last year, I still feel the pain. I keep telling myself that the loneliness will ease. But another year goes by and the tears do not cease. For I had it all when you were by my side. Everything was taken away the day that you died. I’ve met other people, but they’re just not you. I know it’s not fair, they haven’t a clue Why sometimes when things to my eyes bring a tear, They don’t understand. It just makes them fear That in my heart they don’t stand a chance, That you were my partner in every day's dance. Everyone says that time heals the pain. But that just makes me wonder why tears fall like rain On the fresh fallen snow of my already frozen heart. I just wish they’d stop. I wish healing would start. But until it does, I’ll continue to grieve, until someone comes along and my heart can retrieve. Copyright: December 28, 2005
