Tears in the Abyss
Folder:
2003 Poetry The silhouette of a woman is on my mind,
along with the memory of her delicate touch.
I close my eyes and see her clearly as life,
although she's been gone all these long years.
How did I let her slip away from my arms,
which wanted to embrace her til the end of time.
Sadly all I have is the specter of her memory,
instead of the feel of her body next to mine.
Her fragrance never again to creep into my sleep,
as she lies next to me in the darkness of our room.
The warmth I could feel just by her simple smile,
directed towards me as only she could do.
If only I could roll back time creating a chance,
to reshape the events that caused her to leave.
Those unfortunate things I said in foolish anger,
before she ran out and died before she could return.
Now I find myself aching with regrets deep inside,
and tears seeping out from the windows of my soul.
She is gone and lost in the abyss of my empty heart,
and I am lost in this unending misery until I die.
