Without your presence

Being home without  your presence dear
Without the warmth  that poured from your blue eyes
Makes me feel invisible right here.

I do not have antipathy to fear
Inevitably   panic rises high.
Drinking tea without  your presence dear

Sharper was the pain that  cut through me
I realised that Death was coming by.
I feel  unreal, while knowing I am here.

Then there is the suffering to believe
So from my mouth I gave a stuttering sigh
Coming home without  your  care so dear.

Oh, humans can’t escape  the sorrow of deep grief
A sheet of tears fell from my stricken eyes.
I feel my heart was emptied by a thief.

I never asked the question ,tell me why.
I know that all the living  come to die.
Being home without  your presence dear
Makes me feel I’m lost and not quite here.
