A grieving husband's lament

I Cried All Day

by nomi338

 

I cried all day because you left me last night

Against this awful pain, I’m trying hard to fight

More than 50 years together,

a great big hole is left

I do not know if I can live by myself

Living without you is gonna to be tough

The love of anybody else will not be enough

I cried all day because you left me last night

Against this awful pain, I’m trying really hard to fight

My family tries to help me to deal with my loss

No one can really know how great is the cost

Everybody wants to help me handle my grief

The pain of my losing you is beyond belief

I cried all day because you left me last night

Against this awful pain, I’m trying so hard to fight

I’ll face tomorrow, because I have no choice

I pray that heaven will hear my voice

I pray that heaven will listen to my plea

I pray that the angels will send someone to me

I cried all day because you left me last night

Against this awful pain, I’m trying really hard to fight

Don't wanna live alone, but what am I gonna do?

I don't really wanna go on without you

I know you would have stayed if only you could

Wishing you were still here does me no good

I cried all day because you left me last night

Against this awful pain, I’m trying really hard to fight.

The photo is a glamour shot of my late wife Yvonne. She died in her sleep on September 4 2024, just two day past our 51st anniversary. I turned this poem into a song that can be heard on Soptify.com music streaming station under the title: I Cried All Day by Nolan Miller.
