Gone Baby Gone

Two months later

Shock wears off

Questioning my reality

Out of body feeling

Jolted back

Harsh light of day

No more pretending

This is my reality

Stuck between

The smile and the frown

Trying to go on

Struggling every day

Just want it to stop

Just let me stop

Even for a moment

A little reprieve

Because this is my life

It’s hard

Its every day

It’s never-ending

Nothing left to do

But go on living

Sometimes I don’t want to

Tell me that it’s wrong

There’s nothing left

But papers

And memories

Of days gone by

It’s all because of you

Because you’re not here

Because I miss you

Because I love you

My baby’s gone

And he was mine

From the day he came home

He was mine

My best friend

My confidante

My fighter

My playmate

Now I feel so lost

Standing alone

Talking to myself

Gone baby gone
