My heart is pounding
I open my eyes
realise you are not by my side
years have gone by
since you shared my bed
it still feels warm
when I place my hand
on the pillow
the pillow that was yours

regrets strikes my heart
the pounding is back
pain is searing through my heart
pain of sorrow
sorrow that you are no longer a part of my life
a life that feels like a shell
a shell that now is empty

the pain is almost gone
and my hand has gone cold
as have your pillow

dreams is all I have now
with memories of us
memories of two souls
a life with you in my shell

a smile is starting to grow upon my face
a smile of happiness
happines that i was once loved by you
