Your image is a whisper
that reverberates in mind,
In softened tones it speaks to me
though I've felt it fade with time,
As most everything I have of yours
so slowly slips away,
Mementos to all those you loved
that leave my life in disarray,
I want so much to hold you
and to hear your gentle laugh,
But to close my eyes and picture you
just breaks my heart in half,
Everything we ever were
and everything we'll never be,
Lie in the dust to linger without you
and without me,
You're gone and I am left here
with but a few things to remind,
Myself that I still love a man
who's death left me behind,
The pictures I must sort through
the things I must store away,
Bring tears so full of sorrow
yet I must face another day,
The quiet moments kill me
because that's when I see your face,
I swear your scent surrounds me
as I think of your embrace,
I am trying to move on My Love
but I still hear your gentle laugh,
And every single time I do
it breaks my heart in half,....
of lisa my love I had no
of lisa my love I had no idea! HUGS
this poem was just beautiful, I felt the pain in your words as I read them. I just feel sad now.
What I love most is that the poem truly gets the feeling of loss and the pain in no longer being able to hug the one you love for whatever reason, it's sorrow is so universal! thank you for the share
Much Love

sometimes my words get frozen
sometimes my words get frozen too
some things just hurt too much to feel long enough for words to come
