what I'm left with
Now you're gone I can't explain
The still feeling with which I remain
I see and feel myself clear pure
Before I felt diseased, but couldn't find the cure
Empty, confused and cold
I surrendered to how they want me to unfold
The comfort of acceptance was so alluring
A false soft voice, so viciously reassuring
Left all by myself, the voices gradually disappear
Fear turns into a tear, but then come flowing the ideas,
At first I was scared and alone on a dark long road
Looking at where I thought the light once showed
Our memories, your touch,
My soul was in your clutch
I thought I had so much
But it was just the mere absence,
of my prejudice and grudge....
