He never meant
To hurt me
To let harm
Come my way

He never meant
To leave me
To let me
Slip away

He never meant
To kill me
To shelter me
From the sun's bright ray

He never meant
To walk away
To forever say goodbye
Tomorrow comes, here, still, I stay

He never meant
To overdose
To leave me without
A happy new day

He never meant
To die that night
To turn two into one
Still, here he is lain

He never meant
To send me tears
To promise "I love you"
I will never again say

He never meant
To take me
To his early grave
On this mournful day


In memories, both sweet and sad, we find a little piece of tomorrow.

Life is hard no matter how we try, to lose someone, no matter how they go, is sadness beyond compare, no words spoken or written will comfort the ones left behind, time alone is the healer, and remember, the things we have from memories, can never be taken. Hope this was not a personal story, but if so, live life as best you can, it only stays for a little while.

Alicia, my Mom "left" in the middle of the night and I never got to say good bye.  I wonder if the angels will explain that I wanted to?  I loved your poem and know I am not alone in the wonder and unanswered questions.  Hugs to you,  ME
