I've Lost Everything

I’ve Lost Everything

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west,
Another day is over, it’s finally time to rest.
It’s not been easy with you gone from my life,
Thought I had it all, but this cut me like a knife.

One day things were normal, a perfect fit after all,
The next things have changed, my back’s against a wall.
Torn asunder by forces that couldn’t be measured,
Everything was gone, even those we treasured.

To make matters worse, you were taken from me,
I swear someone laughed and chuckled with glee
Leave me you did, I have to handle all this,
I think you really thought, you wouldn’t be missed.

Now I sit here alone with my thoughts and tears,
After all, we were together for so many years.
Whatever shall I do, you’re gone, not coming back,
How will I manage to get my life back on track.

It’s not often that this happens, one left so alone,
I’m not even sure if I can find my way home.
I fear for myself, I may be in jeopardy,
Going out of my mind since I lost my memory.
