I am gone

I am gone, not by your side, or so I’ve heard you say …

but I am with you more than you know, each and every day.

 

I am there each morning, as you rise to the morning you dread,

I am nestled up beside you each night when you go to bed.

 

I watch while you are sleeping or lying there awake,

I’m with you when you ask, “How much more can I take?”.

 

I watch with love each time I see you wipe the tears away …

I will always be here for the one who thinks of me each day.

 

I see you smile seldom, which is just a way to hide,

for I know the deep exhausting pain that you feel inside.

 

I watch you gather all my things to keep the memories alive,

I also know it’s the only thing that helps you to survive.

 

I wish you knew that I was there and I know the pain you feel …

I know you have a broken heart that time will never heal.

 

Just know that I am with you … We really aren’t apart,

I’m in every breath you take … Nestled in your heart.
