Wish it was just a dream

It never dawned on me that you'd be gone.

I never thought I'd see the day that you're not around.

I never imagined I could go on without you.

And yet, here I am,

     all alone, 

     feeling so empty,

     feeling so lost.

I don't know what to do with myself.

Life sure seems different without you.

Wish i can say it was just a dream.

And I'd turn around,

     and there you are,

     smiling back at me...

About the Author
Pictured here are my Dad, Mr. Virgilio "Ver" V. Layco, Sr. and my youngest sister, Karen Layco Mitchell. Sadly, we lost them on Dec. 2011. Losing them both suddenly, one week apart, was so overwhelming that I needed something to release the pain I am feeling. I started writing my poems to express the sadness I've felt since they passed away. I hope you find some comfort and encouragement in reading them. *** Marizel Layco Beck ***
