Where are you?
I'm looking, but I can't see you.
You promised you’d always
Be there for me.
Where are you?
I squint harder in the darkness
Trying to catch a glimpse of
Your beautiful face.
Where are you?
I look through the crowd
Dressed in black.
Your mother’s crying,
Your father’s stony and silent,
Your friends are shocked.
“How could she do this?”
I see you.
But you’re not really there.
She’s just an empty shell
Of the woman you used to be.
Her eyes are closed,
Her soft lips parted.
I lean down to kiss her,
But I can’t.
I know it won’t be the same.
