My emotions are now a rollercoaster and I now am feeling a wide range from depression to anger. I know I have to be feeling the stages of grief.

&nbsp; Walking through the house a day later

The emptiness in my heart, my soul

&nbsp; The silence of the house deafening

You aren't here anymore

&nbsp; This has to be a dream.&nbsp;

You can't be gone

Reminders of you in the living and dining rooms

&nbsp; Your smell, maybe a plate or glass of yours

Walking up to the room that we shared briefly

&nbsp; While you were here

The room still has your scent

&nbsp; I lay down on the bed and grasp a pillow and sniff

Your scent is still there and the tears begin running down my face

&nbsp; I lay there clutching the pillow for what seems like an eternity

When I feel like I can move again, I head to the shower

&nbsp; Start the water and hop in the shower

Remembering how we used to shower together

&nbsp; Me leaning up against the wall

&nbsp; Your body up against mine

&nbsp; Your voice, echoing in my ears as you nibble my shoulders

&nbsp; The growl you made when nibbling my ears

I can't move at all

&nbsp; The emotions burst through like water through a floodgate

I scream out

&nbsp; I cry out

But you aren't there

&nbsp; You HAD to leave, to go HOME

You had a home HERE.

&nbsp; You had someone who loved you HERE

And YOU LEFT ME!

&nbsp; I don't know whether to be angry, upset, or sorry

Maybe it was something I did

&nbsp; Maybe it was something I didn't do

I want to make it right

&nbsp; I NEED to make it right

Help me make it right

&nbsp; What do I need to do?

All I think about is being with you

&nbsp; I want to feel your touch

To taste your lips on mine

To see those beautiful eyes

To smell the aroma that is your scent

&nbsp; To hear your voice again

&nbsp; Ring through my ears like music

&nbsp; To heal my broken heart, my broken soul
