With or without you
Now I am faced

Abundant emptiness
Loss of my faith

How can I continue
Live as it’s normal

Your presence away
My spirit before you

The first of many
You’ll always remain

The memories, flashbacks
Drive me insane

How does one come
To terms with a loss

A child was here
Then next she was gone

My life will not ever
Be the same as before

My brain running rapid
My thoughts insecure

If only a word, could be spoken again
If only a hug, could replace upon sins

I’d cherish each moment
As I did before

But knowing you’re leaving
Would warn me before

With or without you, I must now decide
Can’t help but be hurt
Tears to my eye

With or without you, I must now be strong
Your family is hurt 
Though you were not wrong

Left in the cold
Now I reside

Sleepless at night
Awake to realize

You’ll never be back
No more of your smile

No more of your laugh
No more of your style

I must not be grudge you
Though truthfully hurt

My love will not falter
Or a skip any word

I write you today
Because you are missed

Please come home to Dad
For never won’t give

I’ll never give up
Never forget

My daughter is gone
Why did I live?
