~I NEED YOU~

Sometimes words are hard for me
For things I want to say
But I need to tell you something
I need you in my life today

I know you don't understand
Though I wish you really could do
How hard it is to live without my child
And how much I really need you

Sometimes I can't find the words
To tell you what I feel each day
My feelings are in a turmoil
I'm really trying to find a way

To go on with this pain in my heart
And be the person I once used to be
But it's so hard for me to do
If you're not here for me

I've learned a lot since my child died
And though I wish I never had
To know this feeling of loneliness
That makes my days so sad

I love you, I want you to know
And ask that you please accept me
And whatever each day brings
Please, never stop loving me

It's so hard to wake up mornings
When tears appear in my eyes
I wipe them away so often
I don't want you to see me cry

But when the heart is broken
And you live with pain every day
I can't stop what my heart feels
I still need your love anyway

It's hard for me to do things
That I once used to do
Like shopping, movies and dinner
I feel limited of things I've done in the past with you

I cannot help myself
And I want you to understand
I need to talk about my child
I need you to hold my hand

I need you to look me in the eye
And though it may hurt you too
Just try and imagine how much I've lost
Because this could have happened to you

No one told me what my life
Would be like once my child was gone
If anyone had ever told me it was like this
I'd have told them they were wrong

But now I find myself
Walking in shoes that are bigger than me
I'm trying to fill in the void
Of what my life used to be

But I need you in my life
If only you could see
It's so hard to face each day
Living with this tragedy

I know I make you uncomfortable
I see it in your eyes
I know it upsets you
Each time I break down and cry

I try and hold it together
I try and and not let you see
My life has changed so much
But I still need you here for me

Touch my arm when I'm weary
Hug me sometimes too
I need those things in my life
To somehow get me through

I don't know what tomorrow will bring
I never know what mood I will be in
But no matter what life brings each day
I need you in my life again

It hurts me when you don't call
It brings more sadness to my heart
I've lost someone I love dearly
And some days are so hard to start

So many turn away from us
And we don't know what to do
But let you know we need your love
To help us with each day, get through

I'm sorry this has happened
For me, my life and yours
I'm stumbling as I walk this road
I want to have things the way they once were

But I know that is impossible
For my life does not sometimes seem real
But I need you alongside of me
To try and understand what I feel

I love you, I always have
I'd do anything I could for you
I only ask that you have patience
And help with the things that I feel

You are my sister, my parent, my brother
My family that I adore
I'm doing the best that I can
I don't know what to do anymore

But I need to talk about my child
And if tears come, I cannot help those that fall
I'm trying to cope without my child
I know some days I'm going to fall.....

I need you, my family
More than you will ever understand
But losing a child is horrendous
And I'm doing the best that I can

Please love me for who I am
And not what you wish I would be
Hold out your hand and walk alongside 
And love me the way it should be
