Life Without You - A Poem by David Ritter

I wish I could live in yesterday
for today’s pain seems so great
And every tomorrow without you
begins with a crippling fate

I go through the motions daily
as if I were a circus clown
Entertaining the masses with smiles
while my heart wears a frown

I wish somehow I knew
how to end this gloomy feeling
I pray to a distant God for hope
and a much-needed healing

But the only comfort I’ll ever find
is when we can finally stand
On the banks of a Heaven’s shore
while holding each other’s hand

So as I wait ever so patiently
for my dream to finally come true
I’ll continue this unwanted life
with thoughts of love for you
