Life Goes On

Categories: Bereavement

I am sitting quite still
But memories of you
Keep flooding into my mind.

I really don’t know how to stop
The recollections and thoughts that come
Frequently bombarding my brain.

I get up and try to keep busy
But whatever I do I remember how
We always did things together.

Deep inside I’m weeping again
And this time the tears spill out
What can I do to make them stop?

I know, I must keep looking outward
But it’s difficult when there’s a hole
Inside me that you left behind.

I must just reconcile myself to the fact
That you are gone and will never come back
And life goes on without you.
