A World Without You

I hear a funny joke

I turn to share it

There’s only normal folk

Alone I sit

I had a bad day

I reach to text

To see what you have to say

There’s nothing next

A stranger’s eyes

Look just like yours

I guess that’s lies

They have different cores

I look at the moon every night

And hope you see the same light

Colors once so vibrant

Turn a lifeless grey

You turned silent

If only you’d stay

I see your relative

And we quickly leave

Neither are talkative

Because they know I grieve

Comfort you once brought

Left with you

Friendship I sought

Well, that left too

All I have is sorrow

To look forward to tomorrow

So while this poem may be sad

You’re still my friend

And for that I’m glad

You, I will defend

Because believe it or not

A world without you

Is not worth a thought

Understand, it’s true

So consider this poem a gift

To bring you happiness

Your heart a lift

A world with brightness
