You are gone! Your voice is still
You have left me after all these years!
And the silence of your leaving
Still echoes in my ears.

I did not hear you when you went,
I did not hear your last goodbyes;
But with the sun came emptiness.
The dark of grief now blinds my eyes.

I listen for your steps in vain
I feel the stillness that you left behind
I want your footsteps on the stairs,
But the endless quiet echoes in my mind.

Your love is gone and we're apart;
The emptiness is pounding in my heart.
