Gone went the rays
of the summer days
replaced with frowns that only
your smiles could replace

away went the laughter
and the glances we shared
the sound of your voice though
still fills the air

the wind carried away the stars
out of the night sky
the moon disappeared
and the milky way
echoed your cry

now the hole in my heart
isn't empty I know
because nothing that's empty
could be so heavy to hold

Angel,

I have missed you.
This is a poem I enjoyed
- I hope it's not about you now.

Thank you Aziza,
Yes, it is about someone I lost a few years ago, it's just taken this long to put  my feelings to pen about it.
Take care,
Julie

I have been wondering where you've been. Unfortunately, it appears as though you may have been mending a broken heart.

"the wind carried away the stars
out of the night sky
the moon disappeared
and the milky way
echoed your cry"

~ As sad as though words are, they are very beautiful.

Giving you a warm, compassionate hug,

EA
