How do I put into words
A grief so deep
It scalds my heart?
How does
This soul so lonely say
I miss you?
You are my love, and
You are drifting away
Bit by bit I am losing you.
Some days you are you, and
Some days a little more
Is gone.
I want to tell you
To stay, don’t go, but
You don’t understand.
I love you,
I always will,
And I miss you.
How do I put into words
A grief so deep
It scalds my heart?
