How Do I Go On?

by, Cheryln Cramer

These tears are the only thing

That keeps me hanging on

I sit alone and reminisce

Of the days we shared

And wonder if what we had

Was just an illusion

Because if they're not

How do I go on?

How do I go on

Without your strength

To support and guide me

Through the rough times?

How do I go on

Without seeing your smile

Or hearing your laughter every day?

How do I go on

Without your arms around me

Holding me tight

And keeping me safe from harm?

How do I go on

Not hearing your soft lips

Whispering in my ears?

How do I go on

Not coming home to your sweet lips

Upon my own

Doing unexplainable things to my body?

We were torn apart

By a fate so cruel

And time has made it worse

For the obstacles in our paths

Have become too great to overcome.

Are we destined to be apart

Or will our hearts intertwine

Once more?

How am I to know

What our destiny will be?

Whether we will be together

Or distanced.

How do I go on

Until we are joined together

Forever?
