SHATTERED DREAMS

You do not realize

how much

I depended on you

You were

my strength

heart and soul

I miss you

and wonder

why

you found it

necessary

to leave me

alone

lost

bewildered

with no explanation

struggling

to understand....

Do you not know

that I can never

forget you

or what you meant

to me

You gave me

back my life

my dreams

You were

my best friend

sweet angel

my heart

Now there is just a hole

where once you were

shadows

of shattered dreams

a gaping wound

that will not heal

But I shall abide

your wishes

not contact you

if but one thing

you grant me

A word

now and then

letting me know

you are still alive

Jan,
That is the hardest part to deal with... when someone leaves and gives no reason or explanations for their leaving...
Your poem is beautifully written from a heart with so much love... as is all your poetry..
My heart goes out to you...
Thank you for opening your heart to us
Peace and Love
Judy
