The ghost of you

An empty glass of vodka
Here in this dark cold room
I slowly sat down
And saw you there
Staring at me
How long where you there?
¨Hi¨
I muttered under my breath
I guess you can´t barely hear it,
I see that you decided to finally visit me
What took you so long?
I wasn´t expecting to see you
Since the day you’ve been gone
I know it was already a long time
And I'm still not fine
See this room?
Like this big empty room
My heart is all empty inside
Cold and sad
I can still hear your voice in every
Corner of this room
Nothing has changed
So as my love to you
But I long for you more everyday
Every night I lie down
Wishing it was next to you
Please hug me tight
Like you used to do
I lied when I said
I ´ll be fine
But you see that
I am not
You are bad
For taking my heart with you
The day you left
I hate you for that
I am longing for you
How can I move on
Please tell me what to do
Where should I go?
When you are my home
And my haven
But now I am lost
I don't know where to go
I don't know how to start
I can’t hold back my tears inside
He stood up
With a sad look
In his eyes
I moved slowly
Close to him
I wanted to ease
His pain
I was close enough to hug him
I hugged him so tight
That as I opened my eyes
He slowly faded away
I broke down in tears and cried
But not even that
Can make him come back
I knew this but I tried
Now I can sleep again for I know
That in my slumber
This phantom of you will come back
As I lose grip of the reality
So as my sanity
For I can no longer
Have you close to me
As you no longer exist
A truth that I refuse to see

Oh friend, why are you doing this to me? How identified I feel with all your words, sometimes I feel empty, asking for explanations to the life of why I took the only being that really loved me in this world: my father.
It is difficult because I am 25 years old without my father and even so, we never forget our loved ones, we feel their smell, their passage through the house, we feel their presence and that hurts. I understand you.

It is, just imagine living everyday without your love one.

I see and now I remember the word I was looking for. It is very moving what you wrote.
