Life is confusing
I feel lost in it sometimes
Waking from a dream
Not understanding where I rise
But you made all the sense to me
From when I grew to know
That you who were my wife to be
Would have so much to show
And forgetful though I was
As I wandered through this life
You'd ask what I was looking for
As I poked around inside
The contents of our cupboards
Or the topics in my head
Spectres chasing throughout the day
Or thoughts while I lay awake in bed
You were always there to remind me
Or at the least to keep me sane
Helping me stay to a single path
Against the wilderness inside my brain
The steps turned into dancing
The dancing went on for miles
Whether paying bills or romancing
Our faces wrinkled with our smiles
For I had you and you had me
And every time we'd head for the door
You'd see my mind go wandering
And ask what I was looking for
Then this perplexing world took you
from me
As usual I did not understand why
Why there's so much involved in burying
a spouse
Or why the world let me see you die
You were the heart and soul of this
home
You made this house into a fortress of
our love
And I get lost sometimes within these
walls
And forget what I was thinking of
Misty eyed I stare into the window
Met with my reflection while I stare
outside
Being met with both the echoes
From which I wish to run and hide
I still think I hear you on occasion
While gathering my notes from off the
floor
As I get lost now and again
I hear your echo asking what I'm
looking for
I feel your spirit in this house
Even as your touch ebbs and wanes with
time
For what made this place a home now
gone
And now it's just a resting place of
mine
I'm very glad that you've found rest
As I ready to go outside this door
But I'd give the next breath from my
chest
To hear you ask me what I'm looking for
