I look around I look for you
I see many but no one like you
Smiling and tossing in the blue
Just like you always did just like you
There you are sitting on the chair
Fiddling with the spoon and the hair
I stretch my hand to touch you
And you move away just like always
You were not perfect nor was I
But together we made a perfect life
You completed me exactly right
But now I am broken, alone and trite
There is silence all around me
Miles of emptiness and despair
The smell, the touch, the sight
I try hard each day to put up a brave fight
