Reaching

I reach for you
But you’re not there
Just an empty space
We used to share
A bed so cold
I could never sleep
A love so true
I’ll always keep
Inside my heart
You are my soul
I’ll never understand
Why you had to go
Your glass still sits
Beside the bed
Tears gush like geysers
And the words we said
Beneath my pillow
I keep your shirt
I cling to it
To mend the hurt
And the void I feel
Without you here
I reach in vain
To keep you near.
