Without You



Too much time for reflection
Too many hours spent alone
Too big a vacancy inside me
Knowing that I’m on my own
Memories that should bring comfort
Better times and brighter days
Sting my heart and leave me blinded
In an empty, tear-stained haze
Too afraid to face the future
Clinging to things in the past
So afraid of moving forward
Nothing’s ever meant to last
Sentenced to a life without you
With no option for parole
Knowing that you’re gone forever
Nothing else can fill that hole
Waking trying to find a reason
With this sadness in my heart
Searching for a new beginning
Never knowing where to start

Carrying On


Memories that flood my mind
And probably always will
A pair of tiny little shoes
No feet can ever fill
A soul mate and a confidant
A mother and a friend
A road we walked together
Until the very end
An emptiness inside me
That will not go away
A darkness never ending
Even in the light of day
A sadness overwhelming
That tears my world apart
But love that death can never touch
Alive in this boy’s heart
