Are you there?
Or only in the twilight of the past?
Do you still smile and laugh and cry?
Sometimes I feel you so close
I expect to turn and see you
Or hear your voice
But it's only the past haunting me
I miss you
I need you more now
And I'm angry that you left me.
Even though I know it was not your choice
Unlike those who leave willingly
Even gladly
Sometimes you are so far away
I think you must have been a dream
And I wish I had never awakened
The end of you is dim in my mind
Gray skin and laboured breath
But the smiles, warmth and love
Yes, even the anger and tears
Are you there?
Or only in the twilight of my mind?
