........................

I'm running out of smiles

I've cried out all my tears

This ice running through my veins,

it's not going anywhere.

Every moment since you left

I've had to concentrate to breathe

how do I navigate this world 

when I don't know who to be?

I thought that God had given me a gift

one I could keep

But in a moment you were gone

and all I could do was weep. 

How is one person supposed to handle all life has to give

How am I supposed to breathe when I have no will to live? 

People say that time will heal, 

One day I'll think of you with no tears

But I know now that isn't real

I try to occupy my mind with thoughts of happy things

but you, my boy, you're all I want and you are why my soul still weeps.
