WHEN I LOST YOU

WHEN I LOST YOU


No, I did not shed a tear,
I did not cry or weep.
My heart stopped when I lost you,
My grief was just too deep.

I knew not what came to pass.
My sensation was stunned.
I could not think or reason.
My mind was truly stumped.

Night came, I was all alone.
The bed that had known two
Was so strange I could not sleep.
And then I thought of you.

As soon as your thought did come,
It haunted me all night.
Since then, for me, each night has
Been just a mental blight.
