a time when I have wished
I could trade places
more than now.
Why her?
And not me....
My heart feels empty
in the silence of this house
a house usually filled with laughter
and singing
and all manor of chaos
I would take it all now
if I did not have to listen
to the tick tock
tick tock
of the pendulum within my heart
which mark the moments
until she is here with me again...
