I thought I was hurt before
But nothing compares to this
You took my heart and crushed it
Said good-bye with one last kiss
The tears I shed meant nothing
They fell in silent song
The melody I cried for you
Lasted all night long
Today the sun beamed in my room
The wake of a new day fair
And though I lay in bed alone
I knew that you were there
Your arms wrapped 'round me as I stood
You watched me as I dressed
And when I came out to the world
Your body my caress
The grave side service went with please
And after followed sorrow
We all felt your presence there
Our doctrines you to borrow
As I walked in later on
A tear fell fown my cheek
I stumbled over to a chair
My knees felt reallt weak
Toss and turn in bed that night
Dreams faltered in and out
I saw you walking a hall of light
Your name I came to shout
Today is better, I am strong
You are no longer here
But before you left, you whispered close
"I love you my dear"
Very nice poem, I was wondering what the story was behind this, then I read your comment. It IS a very touching poem and its beautifull how the inspiration just came to you and transfered itself into these words. Nice.
