Love Stinks



Now that you are gone,
It's too dark at night.
It's constantly cold.
And nothing seems right.

Now that you are gone,
It hurts to be alone.
I can't stand it here without you,
Afraid and on my own.

Now that you are gone,
My world means naught,
I am sorry for what I've done
And all the times we fought.

Now that you are gone,
I can't seem to find my smile,
I didn't think I'd lose it yet,
At least for a little while.

Now that you are gone,
I can't help but yearn
for the love that we had
And the day you will return.

Now that you are gone
And left me behind,
I am losing my focus
And have already lost my mind.

Now that you are gone,
Nothing else will matter.
Each day I'm without you
My heart will not cease to shatter.

Now that you are gone,
All it does is rain.
The heavens seem to weep,
As if they feel my pain.

Now that you are gone,
I just want to cry,
Because I curse the night you left,
When we had to say good-bye
