We'll Go On, After You

Divorced Poems

We'll go on, after you,

Without you we'll go on,

Though something beautiful inside

Us all has turned to stone.

We'll go on, after you,

Without you through the years

Of pain and raw bewilderment

And brutal, angry tears.



We'll go on, after you,

Without you we will heal,

Though love may labor in the heart

And joy the loss conceal.



We'll go on, after you,

Without you we will grow

Together as a family

That you will never know.



We'll go on, after you,

Without you life goes on,

But neither hope nor happiness

Undoes what you have done.

GREAT POEM!!!!!!! strong

Mark Fiorentino's picture

Good selection of rhyming words and rhythm. A poem coming out from a broken heart but shows another trait of the poet's character - determination . Very realistic.
