A World Without You

I can not imagine a world without you
I can not understand what it means to be apart
I can not deal being alone
my life is so empty
my life is so dark
my life has been filled with tears
no one there to embrace me or wipe them dry
no one there to give me hope
no one there to revive my life
a world without you i do not want to know
a nightmare I want to get woke up from
and be told it was just that
a mistake an error that was not meant to be
you have taught me to face what lies ahead
because sometimes we never know
what we encounter at the crossroads of life
my world was much better when I had you
you handled all the bad cards that we were dealt
only this time it was a bad hand that we were dealt
I feel so much like the child that was protected
now ..who will be there to put me under their wing
a world without you.a world I do not know
I remove my wedding band and place it in your pocket close to your heart
close to where you had my name tatood
I will carry yours even closer to my heart
your the only tatoo carved deep in my heart
I proudly display the engagement ring you gave me
because it meant so much to you on the day that you asked me to marry you
a world without you a place I need to know
if I had my wish you'd never leave my side
a world without you I hope to survive
because it is not just I that must live without you
our children also will need to learn to survive a world without you
no matter how many poems I set out to write
the pain remains a great big part
I try not to cry....but a world without you how can I say good-bye?
makes me wonder how much must one love before they lose that love
did I love you too long or did I love you too much
perhaps if I pretended not to love you at all your life would be spared...
because a world without you is too hard to bear
