No Longer With Me

As I lay wide awake 

They're sound asleep 

I stay quiet for their sake 

Hoping they don't hear me weep 


I got the news later

That you weren't coming home 

My mom tried to be my caretaker 

I just wanted to be alone, kept in a dome 


They all called me 

I just couldn't bring myself to answer the phone 

I know now that you're free 

And yet my heart is all alone 


Another day without you here 

Time continues, and my heart has grown numb 

finally, it's been a year 

I haven't overcome 


I couldn't move on 

Couldn't bring myself to love anyone other than you 

My heart knows your gone 

But what is this poor soul to do 


I love you.
