I'm lost without you.

I’m lost without you.


I come from a home with broken hearts and hollow eyes,

sneaking out in the bone chilling weather, to see who holds my heart,

sleepless nights carried away by insomnia,

depression and anxiety concurring my wispy bones,

tearing me down the second I step out of bed,

i’m lost without you.


I come from a broken home,

saying goodbye to you before I had the chance to see your beautiful grace, enjoy just one hug,

growing up confused,

a thousand times I sat alone, praying to you,

i’m lost without you.


I come from a quiet hospital room,

I was two, but I saw videos to remember, my world in a creaky hospital bed,

nothing I could do to save you, and my heart is shattering at the thought,

when you left, it crushed my heart, shatters like in slow motion and couldn't get out,

i’m lost without you.


I come from a believing home,

I believe when you flew to heaven, you took part of me with you,

I know that whenever I go, you will be with me tucked in my sleeve,

nothing felt right without you here,

i’m lost without you.


I came from a dedicated father figure,

after you left, he showered me in love, hugs, and anything I needed, he was there,

ice skated till I had blisters, just for you, tried my best, then became better,

dedicated each game to you, won every one to, you will always be with me,

i’m lost without you.


I come from a home with broken hearts and hollow eyes,

sneaking out in the bone chilling weather, to see who holds my heart,

sleepless nights carried away by insomnia,

depression and anxiety concurring my wispy bones,

tearing me down the second I step out of bed,

i’m lost without you.

I lost my mother at the age of 2. She passed away due to breast cancer. It has been very very rough but I express my feelings through poetry.
