An open road
so many possibilities
but without you
I have no direction.
The way ahead
beckons
but without you
I am lost.
We always trod
life’s path together
but now, without you
I don’t know which way to turn.

I can imagine these feelings from the many widow and widowers I have known and know.
Also I think this fits when parents loose children and when children loose parents…
