Sitting here all alone
On this cold Winter night
I'm wishing I could hear you once again
I'm wishing you could hold me tight
I want you to come back to me
Why do we have to be apart
I'm missing you endlessly
Because I loved you with every beat of my heart
Oh how I despise that awful day
When you had to go away
I though you and I would always last
But you slipped out of my life so fast

Why did you have to go
Why couldn't you just stay
Here inside my arms
Always
Why did you go away
I'd bring you back if I could
And if only I could trade
I would

Sitting here all alone
On this awful summer's day
The sun doesn't shine in my world anymore
Since you went away
I'm trying to pick up all the pieces
Because you once made me feel whole
But now without you in my life
I feel like I'm losing control
Oh how I despise that awful day
Because I'll never be able to hear you say
That I'm the one that your heart beats for
Because I know that it's silent forever more

***Angel,
I feel so bad for you. I have never experienced this kind of loss before and I am unsure of what to say...
I'm glad you are at least trying now to pick up the pieces of your life again....
This is a beautiful poem and I'm sure your loved one is smiling down on you.

This is such a touching poem.  It seems so horribly ironic really, how something so wonderful came from something so tragic.  I hope everything goes alright for you and we get to see some more of your fantastic work soon.    

 The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition.

Wow - how awful for you...many hugs.

You have written a loving poem full of plaintive loss - and it is well written, angel.

Please know that you are safe here to express your sorrow.

This poem just made me feel so sad. There's no other way to say how I felt. Reading this theme in a poem just about breaks my heart.

Sad for you, I know.
You did a wonderful job of expressing
your emotions.

One of those few poems that really touched my heart! I realize this hurts like hell, but I hope things get better for you. This work was so beautifully expressive.

take care,
amy
