Patricia E. Hackel, Rest In Peace

I can't read through these pages of my days with you
Without feeling the void and there's nothing I can do
I can't bring you back, I can't fill that space
Everytime I think of you I sink into that empty place
Where you are missing and we are here
Without you another day, another month
Soon enough a whole year.

I never did have time to heal
Everything still hurts to feel
Since I left home quickly and came to Iraq
Part of me is still expecting you when I get back
Everytime I have to tell myself that you will not be there
I feel my heart break and I cry until I'm gasping for air.

There will never be another you
Trying to be more like that person is all I can do...
