The Void

By: James R. Strait

Gazing out the window
to the stars above
why did you go
oh, why, my love

Why did you leave me
without a trace
if only you could see
the sadness I face

I can't eat
I can't sleep
your feat
causes me to weep

Leaving the window
back to bed
then I throw
my hands to my head

As I cry
my spirits shrink
as time goes by
I start to think

I must stay true
I can not fall
for a life without you
is no life at all
