The Feelings That Linger:

The sound of your voice still lingers here
Even though I know you're gone...
And my nights have turned to sleepless days;
They grow worse with every dawn...

You've probably heard this story though
At least a thousand times or more.
But the thing I remember best about her
Is the sound of that closing door...

It was like the end to everything;
A cloud inside my head.
When I came awake on that final night;
I reached for her in bed-

But an empty space was all I got;
There was no one to wipe these tears.
I could scream and cry for many hours;
But it wouldn't chase my fears.

I tried so hard to tell myself
That everything would be alright.
But instead I ended up reminsicing
About her ever-present light...

I'm just so tired of everything;
I wish I didn't have to think...
But maybe you'll hear me one last time;
If I put this down in ink:

We had a life that was beautiful
And I wish that it could be
Because when I lay wake at night;
I still think that you're with me...

Damn, I miss you...

AUTHOR'S COMMENT:

As this week is "Inspiration Week", I decided to break out of my comfort zone and try something that I normally stay away from. Romance.

However, I felt that this week should be about the songs that inspire or rather make you feel a certain way and so I chose a song that I thought many people could relate to and made this poem based off of that song.

If you can guess what it is, feel free to drop a comment. We have plenty of psychic cookies in stock for those who guess it correctly.

Hint: This one is really easy, but the hint is; a female singer.
