I wish you were there

I wish you were there
for reasons the religious struggle to understand
for reasons atheists find inscrutable
I miss you
unlike I miss any god
losing god was like a chain snapped off of my neck
losing you was like you died a second time
this time for good
because I know this time you're gone
and I really need you right now
because I'm lost
while I know you're the only one who knows the way
though, now you've gone somewhere I can't follow
the solace of seeing you again is gone
the person I'm speaking to now
is merely my lonely heart
substituting an old memory
a kind nostalgia that keeps you alive
I miss you so much
far too many of you died
and there are so few people to talk to left this side
