    Heartrending piece. I wish I could say something in this little box that might soothe you or remind you that everything happens for a reason, and that i relate to this so much more than you would realize. But I'm not sure how something like that is possible. So instead, let me share my thoughts on such a raw piece.

    I know you're not coming home,
    You've gone too far away.
    I 'm wasting my time waiting,
    Wasted all those days.

    ^^ Starting pieces with such direction and aim towards one person is an excellent skill and strategy. You also intruged me with such an introduction.

    I can feel it in my heart,
    Deep within my core.
    It's been over two years now,
    And I can't keep pretending anymore.

    ^^ Good job sharing the emotion in such vivid description this made it easier to relate.

    My hope died a long time ago,
    Candle light dimmed low.
    Now it's beyond out,
    With what I've come to know.

    ^ I like the simplicity of this stanza. It is beautiful.

    I haven't started grieving yet,
    Can't sooth my hard, hard heart.
    I could tell myself otherwise,
    But it just tears me apart.

    ^^ Great way of moving the story along and of giving your take on the events.

    I searched for so long,
    So many, many years.
    Drowned in disappointment,
    Cried too many tears.

    ^^ Here is really where i relate. This is what strikes home for me. And as long ago as i lived this very stanza it still has not gotten any easier. Which may not help, but that pain has led me to do better things in my life than i otherwise would have. Good job. sorry bout my story.

    I know you're in only one place,
    A place I cannot find.
    One that I'll later reach,
    But for now, I wait behind.

    ^^ Stunning way to mention that it is Death that has taken this person. I love the creativity behind this stanza.

    I long to hold you,
    See you just once more.
    But I know that it will never be,
    Never be how it was before.

    ^^ I like how you began wrapping the piece up here. Good job on that.

    You left a void here,
    A big cold, empty space,
    And I feel so lost with out you,
    Lost and out of place.

    ^^ This is a perfect ending for this piece. Fantastic/.
