PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I screamed last year
at the cosmos, war and at a man
at a nameless man - who I hate
with every fiber of my soul
He, who took my life.

I want my life back
for a lifetime...a year..a second?
I hear my tears in the
whisper of the softest rain
my anger in the raging storm.

To hold you one last time
one more I love you
a last kiss goodbye, to know
in that moment - to feel 
my heart sing just once more.

Did you think of me
when the bullets dove into you
of children we will never meet.
Did you think of us who love you
when that missile turned to fire
and of a wedding unrealized

Did you see I would be alone
so much left forever undone.
did you know my grief
in that instant where hate
became my enemy - and my friend

So young, so beautiful
so brave - the soul of the man
I loved for too brief a time
you were mine and perfect
in your imperfections.

The cost of your sacrifice
lives in my broken dreams
in your families tears
the gift of it lives
on in the men you saved.

I screamed last year
at a god I don't believe in
at the fates that took you away
at my dreams - forever yours
my heart remembers you still.

I think I died that day with you
My body just didn't know.
