Empty House

My emotions are now a rollercoaster and I now am feeling a wide range from depression to anger. I know I have to be feeling the stages of grief.
Walking through the house a day later
The emptiness in my heart, my soul
The silence of the house deafening
You aren't here anymore
This has to be a dream.
You can't be gone
Reminders of you in the living and dining rooms
Your smell, maybe a plate or glass of yours
Walking up to the room that we shared briefly
While you were here
The room still has your scent
I lay down on the bed and grasp a pillow and sniff
Your scent is still there and the tears begin running down my face
I lay there clutching the pillow for what seems like an eternity
When I feel like I can move again, I head to the shower
Start the water and hop in the shower
Remembering how we used to shower together
Me leaning up against the wall
Your body up against mine
Your voice, echoing in my ears as you nibble my shoulders
The growl you made when nibbling my ears
I can't move at all
The emotions burst through like water through a floodgate
I scream out
I cry out
But you aren't there
You HAD to leave, to go HOME
You had a home HERE.
You had someone who loved you HERE
And YOU LEFT ME!
I don't know whether to be angry, upset, or sorry
Maybe it was something I did
Maybe it was something I didn't do
I want to make it right
I NEED to make it right
Help me make it right
What do I need to do?
All I think about is being with you
I want to feel your touch
To taste your lips on mine
To see those beautiful eyes
To smell the aroma that is your scent
To hear your voice again
Ring through my ears like music
To heal my broken heart, my broken soul
