Having A Hard Time

Having a hard time
For
I’m seeing the future
In a bleak frame of mind 

Looking out onto trees 
Dripping
As if crying along with me

My heart is broken
In
So much anguish and pain

I know
The sun will shine
Again 

I know
I will laugh 
Til
I cry once more 

But until
That time comes 
The future is sadness 
All I see 

A future bleak 
Without you here 
Near me.
