LIVIA'S BOOKLET

You took a piece of me with you, Left me shattered, broken, and blue. They whisper, "Move on, let go," But how can I when you're the one I know? Life without you is a hollowed space, A grief that's visceral, a heart that can't replace.

In losing you, I lost my anchor, Drifting now, without a shore. They expect silence, but I'll speak your name, For in the memories, you're still the same. I miss the life we shared, the laughter and the tears, A bittersweet reminder of what we had for years.

I'd have given a limb for you to see the shape of your hand, to see how shiny your eyes would be to hear the sound of your voice and watch the beauty of your steps. My world collapsed around me, the clock kept ticking, I felt frozen in time - stuck between disbelief and sadness - carrying the weight of missing you. And now; To that moment of change which is always painful, where something shifts inside you and you feel like a part of you is forever altered. The bittersweet truth is;  Time doesn't erase pain, It teaches us how to carry it.  

Losing you, I lost my way, Died a little each day. They say time heals, but I'm still searching, For life before your absence left its mark. I'll speak of you, though they may not understand, For in memories, you're still here, and that's all I have.

When you went, a part of me went dark, A light extinguished, leaving only spark. They say I'll heal, but I'm still in pain, Longing for life before the loss, the strain. I'll hold on to memories, though they bring tears, For in remembering, you're still near.
