Now that you're gone

Fortune cookie prophecies
point me to the path of the unknown
unforeseen circumstances
chill me to the bone

who will guide me
now that your gone
who will guide me
when I'm all alone

who will guide me?

Fortunate dignitary
tells me it's all going to be okay
rehashing promises lost
it's the same as every other day

who is going to lead me
now that your gone
who will lead me
who's light will shine on

who will lead me?

how will I ever know
how far to go
this is a dark lonely road
I just don't know

who is going to hold me
now that you're gone
who will ever hold me
with the love you've shone

who is going to hold me?

I wake to another empty slate
brush off the sins of yesterday
belief in the guiding hand of fate
hasn't helped me much today

how will I ever know
how far to go
this is a desolate lonely road
I just don't know

who will pick me up
when I keep falling down
who will pick me up
one last time

who is going to guide me
lead me
love me
pick me up

now that you're gone?

"...I wake up to another empty slate... brush off the sins of yesterday..." Beautiful words for such Sadness.

You will guide you, you will lead you, you will pick yourself up and you will be strong and amazing!! How incredibly gentle and tender you describe your hurt.

I wrote something with the same title but it has similar themes, I think it's rather hard when the one you depend on leaves you but we can carry on, persevere, though not as before
