Gone

My life has changed

For better or not

She lay in a hospital bed for many weeks

And then she was gone

He lived with us for all my life

And then he was gone

He loved me for a time

And then he was gone

My life has changed

For better or not

I am learning to live on

And then everything was gone

My love and my passion

All of it gone

My joy and my happiness

All of it gone

My life has changed

For better not

And I must learn to live without these things

Because at once, they may be gone
