Life Without You Poem by Jacob Courtney

Since you left this world all
that I have done is hold your
picture close to me afraid to
let go. You're all that I can
think about. We spent so many
years together helping each
other through. I wish that it
would have been me that He
took instead of you. I was
suppose to leave before you.
Now I cry myself to sleep and
wake to hope that your beside me
but just see the place where you
laid. I need you and yet I can't
have you. My life has become
nothing I have become nothing.
You always gave me strength to
face everything and now I dunno
how to. Please my love grant me
the strength to go on without
you here. So I stand at your stone
and give you a rose. I stay
and talk to you for a little
while the pain of you gone fades
for the moment. Where ever you are
is where I am home. I hope that
you will bring me home soon my love
for without you this place is unbearable.
