Without you here beside me

Without you here beside me where you've been and should always be, I feel alone, quite sad my heart feels so empty.

You weren't suppose to be gone that long, it was to be a normal day. You left without a word no good-byes you were on your way.

I sat waiting and wondering when you would return? Yet as I went outside and slowly walked down the stairs is when I'd learn that on that day you would not be coming home.

As the tears began to slowly pour from my eyes, the pain that I felt I could not disguise.

The lost helpless feelings that I felt deep in my heart, uncertain on how long we'd be apart.

What saddened me the most about this whole great ordeal was how we had fought and left our love unguarded for evilness to steal.

As each day passes while you're away each night down on my knees these words I humbly pray....

Dear Lord, watch over this man that I love, let him know he's being watched over by the angels from above. Open his heart so he will see just how much he truly means to me and that by my side is where his place will always be. Amen
