Gone

by Skyler Stepp

Words can’t explain how much I miss you.
As many tears that I cry I can’t explain how hurt I am that you are gone.
As many times that I have smiled you would think some of this hurt has gone.
As many times that I have laughed you would think this pain is healing some.
This broken heart isn’t healing now that you are gone.
You’re in my heart from dust till dawn.
Though I didn’t get to see you before you passed on, I still have our memories to help me remain strong.
I will miss you the same as the years pass on.
I wish the addiction hadn’t taken you so young.
