Your memories play my heartstrings-
Like the angels play their harps...
A muted compilation...
Of mingled flats and sharps...

So sweet the hours that we had...
So sad, the parting day...
To change our dreams of sunshine,
In a cloudy, dreary way.

“I miss you” never will express-
The longing in my heart.
Nor the way the hours drag like years-
Since we have been apart.

“I love you” sounds so shallow-
In view of how I groan...
But that is all that I can say...
Now that you are gone.

John - a sad one indeed, but says your feelings. Peace walk with you...

John,
how sad and despairing.
Keth

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

*sigh* words of love never sound shallow, dear man...this poem touched my heart. I am sure she misses you as much as you miss her. **big hugs** I hope your pain eases soon.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

John, the sorrow in your writing touches me deeply. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.
