If I crawl out of this darkness
I am told I will find the light.
Though it seems impossible,
I find there is still life moving on outside.
Although I wish it would have, it has not halted for me.
Images appear all around me,
Smiles and laughter are all that I see.
Where did my happiness go
Why did he have to leave?
He swore everything was going to get better
Eventually.
In time he said his promises would show the truth
Time wasn't on his side,
Maybe he had nothing left to prove.
As his image fades away,
Just like the light in my life
His voice remains a beacon of hope
To get me through the painful nights.
I will never be the same
That I know for sure
His name will always remain
Tattooed to my heart
Until the day we meet again
I will be sitting here,
Alone in the dark.
