FOR HER SAKE
The empty feeling here is making me very tired
I feel all alone and lonely but more than retired
At night I lay in bed staring at that cruel ceiling
It looks like a wide screen shows all past feeling
I sit up when you are part of that loving moment
I begin to call but you do not make any comment
I go to sleep with these fond memories in my eyes
I long to have that dream that give me the old ties
Dreams are just dreams far from your presence
They can’t heal my suffering but act as penance
I yearn to stroll hand in hand in our back yard
Gaze at the stars and the moon with your card
The card that you gave me when I turned seventy
That was the most precious gift out of the plenty
When the moon is up the whole sky then weeps
Tears flood my thoughts then the heart sleeps
I am left to imagine your touch that gave me joy
All is so gentle, loving and kind like a child’s toy
I never expected this to happen not in my dream
Prince charming is not part of peach and cream
It was your sweetest smile that melted my heart
The strong feeling was ingrained in me from start
Whatever can be the reason for me to feel this way
I know that strong feeling grows stronger everyday
All the year I have been praying to grant you bliss
Every now and then I dream but that too is amiss
I’m badly wounded and can’t ever heal my senses
Your passing away broke me into thousand pieces
No one has any clue of the pain I’ve been through
It’s hard to guess the sleepless night I did accrue
Darling you’ve left me with all these heartaches
Friends see me smiling but can’t feel my aches
I can’t just surrender the pain and let things go
To ease and cease the misery I need to go slow
My happiness means seeing you happy and gay
Let me say this once more I love you everyday
