…to loved ones missed, now sadly departed…
Gone
•
after the clutter of leaving
after the hurry of goodbye
after the hurry of goodbye
after sweet anticipation faded away
after no more embraces
after the laughter was memory
after the laughter was memory
after the sadness collected day upon day
after the spaces fell empty
after the familiar grew distant
after the familiar grew distant
after our time together had become the past
after the taste of regret
after the loneliness mounted
after the loneliness mounted
after sands in the glass spilled away much too fast
I did not think it would be this quiet
I did not think it would seem so far
no I did not know it could be so quiet
nor did I know how this silence would scar
I did not think it would seem so far
no I did not know it could be so quiet
nor did I know how this silence would scar
