I've cleared all my daily reminders
I know I can't forget
My eyes scan across the dresser
I haven't cleared it yet
I have nowhere to go
And nothing I need to do
The world spins on
Even devoid of you
And when the silence overwhelms me
I grab a coffee down the street
Small talk and guileless smiles
From everyone I meet
The sun is shining in the sky
Laughter rings across the square
And the joy I feel around me
Is more than I can bear
I can feel your absence
As I twist my wedding ring
Life goes on
And that's the most horrifying thing
