Despair overcame me, when I realized you were gone
When at the end of the day, you were all I could count on
I can’t even describe the sense of betrayal I had felt
Or how my desperation could easily make me melt.
Biting at the corner of my lip, I wonder what to do
While trying to accept the fact, I no longer have you
It’s hard letting something go when you wanted it so bad
Especially, when it’s something your soul still wishes it had.
God, if I came back a moment sooner you’d still be here
And these words wouldn’t fall on yet another deaf ear
I wouldn’t have to pretend I’m okay, when I know I’m not
Guess this is what they meant by food for thought.
My precious cheesecake, if only you could caress thine lips
Along with the milk I would’ve taken in with leisurely sips
I came home from work hoping to meet your loving embrace
Yet, all I found was my niece stuffing you into her face.
I guess for now this ends our chapter
We didn’t get our happily ever after
No chance to indulge in my guilty pleasure
I can’t believe this kid stole my only treasure.
