The moment that you died ...

When I found out that you had died
My heart split in two.
The one side filled with memories.
The other died with you.

I often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep.
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day.
But missing you is a heartache,
that never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart,
And there you will remain.
Life has gone on without you,
But never will be the same.

For those who still have their children,
Treat them with care.
You will never know the emptiness
As when you turn and they're not there.
