To Lose You
By Tara Nicole Walker

Dedicated to James Earl Gamble II
To think of ever losing you
Pains me to the death
Constricting my chest
With every breath
My mind takes a path
That goes round and round and round
And tears well up in my eyes
And then begin to spill down
To lose that part of myself
That ho-so-large piece of my soul
Brings fears to my mind
That are so untold
I see myself screaming
And tearing at my hair
Calling out to you
Even though you are not there
I see myself so numb to pain
Staring off into space
Empty eyes that show an empty soul
Longing to see your face
I could never lose you and live
A life that's worth living
I cannot thrive without the hope
That to me you keep on giving
