When you left

The day dawned with no light,
For you took it all with you,
And we were left staring into the night,
at the face that was all that was left of you.

I know not how to go on,

without you to show me how,
what will I do with my newborn,
who will show me now?

I am left standing here,

never to feel your love again,
to hug you, kiss you or hold you near,
only an empty embrace with pain.

My home is gone,

only your house remains,
all of us in it, yet alone,
with your memories  in the rains.
