I’ll Weep No More

Your spirit leaves with death’s cold shade
Into the night your soul will surely fade
Now is the hour, the cold time of this
The taking of my heart’s only bliss
And I’ll weep no more, nor will I sigh
There aren’t any more tears I can cry
If I filled the ocean it wouldn’t suffice
This love was beyond any teardrop’s price

Weeping can’t bring you back to me
Nor red eyes or sobbing hysterically
Whatever happens this much I know
That between us two true love did flow
And crying no matter how long for
Won’t make things as they were before
Death can’t be made better by tears’ rain
Oceans of tears can’t wash away pain

Now though your spirit has gone from me
I’ll feel the touch of your love endlessly
Some might think I should wail or weep
But they don’t have the memories I will keep
They might think that crying is right
But that won’t keep me from pain’s sight
So I’ll not snivel about my sorry state
I’ll simply accept this as my destined fate

Crying and sobbing might be what others do
But I’ll hold to the wonder that was me and you

Marsha

For my beloved Jack, farewell my love




Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

I just want you to know that for one, this was beautiful.
And I just applaud your holding to memories and realising that holding the bad doesn't help... but know that tears do soothe.
And also, thank you for this... a friend died last night... after a long fight.

Always, Alyssa

a heart that fills as if it is leaden with cement
a soul that suffocates from daring not to breath
but when your spirit waivers, in grief, in thought,
please remember that the love you gave Jack, is also within the rest of us
who love and adore you, Marsha.

We applaud deeply your transference of sorrow to pen, as it can say what lips cannot.
Take care, give extra hugs
and take them as well....

sweet sis of my heart, i have no words really
to describe how i feel about you and this poem.
you know what you mean to me, and you know that
im always here for you! anytime you need a friend or a sister, i will never be far. i know
that the times ahead are going to be tough
and hard, but as you know as well as
i do that jack will be with you forever.
your love will never end. take care and

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

Beautiful words, Mushy. The time comes when the last tear must fall as life goes on. The good memories will live on and strength will return as we go about living life the best way we know how...as he would want you to do. Welcome back, sweet lady

I cannot even respond except to say, heart hugs are on the way. This was so beautifully written, straight from the heart and soul.

From a heart full of love, there's a wistful sigh
But you'll face your tomorrows with head held high
The love you've shared is more than most will know
And the day will come when you'll once more show
A smile from your heart, there'll be no need to fake.
This sorrow that now seems more than you can take
Will lessen each day, leaving only the love...
Hon, you know he's with you, watching from above.

You do him proud, Mushy one... HUGS to you.

Marsha,
may this time of darkness give way to the silver lining soon, until then I will hold your hand and whisper the words of encouragement so that you might again walk proud and strong.
