One day
I will be so far away
I will no longer
get to see your face
or hear your wonderful voice
all I will have
are my memories of you
And I will cry
each day that you cross my mind
Knowing that I may not see you again
I will miss you when your gone
When I no longer can cradle you in my arms
I shall think everyday
Of you and how I felt
Who I was with you
And who I am away
My anger flares
my temper shortens.
I lash at the smallest things
I think of you
And then I remember that all is okay
But without you
I have realized I do not have a thing
Without you all I have
is this gun this bottle of booze
and this old wedding ring
