Without You
By: Amaya "Maya"
Life hasn’t been the same
Since you’ve gone away.
It’s like everything has been changed
And you’re not here.
Without you I feel alone
I’m lost and empty.
Who am I supposed to call
When things aren’t going my way?
I walk the nights afraid
Wondering who might be next.
And then I realized I need you
To support me along the way.
I know you’re a half a step behind me
But sometimes that’s not what I want.
I need to feel you beside me
And tell me that life is never enough.
To imagine you in a place where I’m not
Is like telling a man to stop breathing
And I can’t imagine such a thing.
You’ve become one of them
The people under the ground.
But you’re not under the earth
And you’re nowhere to be found
Except for the place I call my refuge.
My heart.
Without you the grass grows
And the wind blows
And your face remains etched to my memory.
A sweet memory that never seems to be enough.
Uncle Steve, I need you here.
I need to remember your voice
And hear that deep laugh.
But I’m lost in a world where it’s dark.
And you’re out there where I’m not.
I’ll be there later but not too soon.
I’m breaking apart just being away from you.
You are like my hero, my friend and my sun.
You keep my days bright without even knowing.
When the sun goes down
I lose my hope and I know that you’ve become the moon.
You’re everything a person could want
But you were more than an uncle to me.
You were a best friend
A best friend that I could tell all my secrets to.
And now that I’ve lost my best friend
I have secrets to tell but no one to tell them to.
You are eternal despite that you’ve gone.
You may have disappeared but you’re always here.
You’re more than an uncle.
You were a beloved brother, husband and father.
To know you left this world in a horrible way
Tears me apart.
Without you time passes all too slowly.
To know you only for six years
Is not enough.
I’d believe you’d live forever.
But life has a funny way of making you see reality.
You never survived that accident.
My hero was finally able to fly
And without you I’m left behind.
I’m not the same.
And I would give anything to have you back
Because without you the clouds move away
And another day passes.
We’ll reunite someday.
A reunion that I look forward to.
I’ll never forget you
Because forgetting you is impossible.
I’ll always remember you
And I know you’ll guide me
Whenever I feel lost.
I know you’ll find me.
Are you happy where you are?
You can watch us from above
And you’ll be a guardian like no other.
Uncle Steve, you are wonderful.
You’ve shown me things no one ever has.
You’ve given me hope when I felt all was lost.
I just don’t know what I’ll do
Without you…
And yes, the man in my siggy is my Uncle Steve. And this poem is all created by me, dedicated to this man who has impacted my life in a big way.
Uncle steve, I love you always! ,/,,/
