When the loneliness won’t fade at night,

You try to fall asleep to shut the memories out tight.

But then they come tomorrow, all day, when you’re awake.

You put on a smile, but even strangers know it’s fake.

You try hard to hold yourself so you don’t feel so alone.

But you can’t stop remembering that I’m really gone.

You think that time will ease it, you hope it goes away,

But when you lose someone you love the memories always stay.
