The burden I carry is heavier than gold

It’s so heavy that I might fold

The memory of you smile

Or the sound of your voice

Losing you was never a choice

And if it was then it’s one I would never rejoice

Losing you never quite made sense

Similar to a silent choir

Similar to a song that never sung

A blizzard in the spring

Or a heatwave in winter

A printer without ink

Or a connection without a link

I loved you and I still do

Your memory will live forever in my mind

But peace I may never find

With the future laid bare
