I Can't Do Anything Without Her.

I let her go

By Shelby SchwartzPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

The tears fall

I can’t get them to stop

All the pain and suffering

It surrounds me

Encasing me

Suffocating me

Why couldn’t she stay alive?

Why was she taken?

I can’t look, read, hear anything without seeing her face

Her precious face

A face that will never grow old

Never see the light of day again

I didn’t get to say it then, but it doesn’t matter

If I say it now.

Break me down

Shatter me

Kill me too.

I don’t belong here without her

What did I do wrong?

Why couldn’t I save her?

Was I ever good enough?

All these questions, but no answers

Darkness controls me now

I hide behind I wall of lies

I’ll never go back.
