a city weeps with me

Woke up this morning to find

that I'd been widowed by my

heart

Left this hole inside my chest

serrated edges

with a surgeon's precision

It's true what they say

there ain't no sunshine when

she's gone

the song sings

clear and true

that I'm not myself

when

I'm not with you

its overcast

in the forecast

minutes cease to pass

alcohol will not last

everyone asks

about my laugh

but

thats gone too

my smile in a

head on collision

with

your absence

I'll end this

now

Don't want this piece

to become

a sloppy love jingle

I'm no

gym class hero

I am

however

a ski ball champion

Yes

I brought up that again

because the memories
of you and me

are the

memories that I keep

the moments that I save

the perfect recollections

I'm taking to my grave

They'll find me

with my smile in my

casket

Because if I live and die

for you

then I've lived

my life with passion
