I Carry You With Me, You Have Not Gone!


When you died, I thought you had left me  
Now I realise I'm forever changed as you will always be within me
I carry you in every part of me

My mind cannot think as it's full of my memories of you
It now carries your thoughts, dreams and aspirations too

My eyes cannot see you, as with a veil of tears they're embossed
I weep for us both now for the future we've lost

My voice cannot speak, as your voice is within me
It overwhelms my own telling me you love and miss me

My ears cannot hear anything around me
As I listen to your whispers of encouragement and your voice that guide me

My mouth cannot open for anyone to visibly see
as your lips are kissing me

My lungs cannot get enough air 
As I'm now breathing for us both in my despair
 
My heart cannot beat the same as it's broken, its other half is with you
It's heavy as it's filled with your love and now beats for too

My stomach cannot be content with the food on my plate
As it's now digesting for us both and can't bear to see your empty plate

My arms & hands cannot move, as we are entwined
Your arms are hugging me and your hands are holding mine

My legs cannot walk without collapsing under me
As I'm carrying you with me

My soul cannot connect with this world in anything I do
As it's now connected with you

My being will learn to endure the pain of your loss as we are one
You are within me, I carry you with me, you have not gone!
