Sidewalks
Life's crevices and cracks
Filled with you
Your love
Your light
Your JOY
Your very being

Life happy
Though time flew
I'm struggling without you
A lump in my throat
A constant trickle of tears
Taking residence
No welcome mat
Life incomplete without you
Living life without you hesitant
Happiness out of reach
Pain excruciating
Though I don't want it to cease
As it would seem you never existed
Your life, your love, worth the pain

I know you'd want me to be happy
You'd do anything to make me smile
Without you by my side
I must learn to try
To live
To choose JOY
To cry when I need
But more importantly to smile
To honor you
To fill the crevices and cracks
Filled with you
