As I sit in your chair
in the home that we bought.
I focus on memories
and happier thoughts.
Although I will miss you
and who we were then.
I wish you the best
as another year ends.
It’s been years since the cut
and I still feel the pain.
The wounds they have healed
but the scars will remain.
The lives we have now
blend heartache and peace,
…and loneliness only
more time can release.
I hope that someday,
You’ll find what you need,
with love that is healing,
your sadness relieved.
It’s been years since the cut
and I still feel the pain.
The wounds they have healed
but the scars will remain.
