When The Heart Sings and Bleeds.

An Angel Whispered

I don't think that you ever imagined
How much pain I would be in if you were gone
Cause if you had
You wouldn't have left me here all alone

Words cannot express the amount of emotions
That have come with trying to let you go
Every single day has been a struggle

It's been over a year and it still hurts like yesterday
It's too hard for me to accept the bitter truth
Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself

There are days that if I allowed myself
All I'd do is cry
I'm sitting here alone in my room
Wondering why you couldn't be a part of my future

You see, you were the only family I had left
Hot tears stream down my face
While my heartbeat starts to race
Asking God why He took you from me

I still needed you here with me
You were the one to make things so clear
You were a part of me
As I was a part of you

The cold Monday night you died
A part of me died too
I never knew how hard it is to lose someone you love
Until that cursed Monday night when I lost you

I miss your smile ; I miss your laughter
I miss your voice ; I miss your touch
Your presence and your comforting ways

I miss you more and more each single day
In my heart you shall forever remain
But right now there's only pain
Lost in the world you left behind
And now I know you're in no more pain

For I had a vision full of light and hope
And I heard an angel whispering
"Take my hand and come home with me
You did well, your work here is done."
