The silence is piercing
It bears witness that you are no longer here
The bed that once held you stands empty
The blanket that comforted you, brings comfort no more
Everywhere I look
There are memories of you
The house seems a little too quiet
Our home a little too empty
My heart is a little bit broken
My smile seems a little bit sad
Everywhere I look
There are reminders that I’m missing you
It bears witness that you are no longer here
The bed that once held you stands empty
The blanket that comforted you, brings comfort no more
Everywhere I look
There are memories of you
The house seems a little too quiet
Our home a little too empty
My heart is a little bit broken
My smile seems a little bit sad
Everywhere I look
There are reminders that I’m missing you
