A man cries

I feel more alone than ever before,

haste giving way to my death denied.

Each second I take for granted,

tearing apart my heart in your closed eyes.

I see your face in everything,

smiles make me cry, eyes just bring pain.

I have been so lost without your touch,

without you I have no idea how to live.

You could say that I just miss you so much,

as I look at your resting place,

there is no comfort in the sleep forced upon you.

You must be getting tired of me singing to you,

but there are so many songs we haven’t made love to.

Remember when we would play by the river at night?

It was so cold, but somehow those nights are painted vividly.

Sometimes when asleep I reach out for your hand,

at times I actually feel your soft gentle touch.

Do you ever just wait for me to come to bed?

Kind of like I am already there.

There has never been a moment that you are not with me,

I just miss our talks, fuck baby.

I miss everything, most of all I miss my best friend,

baby I miss you, is it okay that I cry?
