My life is a tragedy So be prepared to cry They say time heals all wounds I know that is a lie I had searched my whole life And finally I found The one meant for me Love and joy abound How quickly all that changed On one ill-fated day The day death claimed my love Death stole her away Maddened by my grief Consumed by my sorrow She was my future Now I have no tomorrow I stare at her picture I long for her touch I can still smell her I miss her so much I pick up my gun And contemplate death What use in living When I feel so bereft But life is a gift And I haven't the right So I put down my gun And I weep through the night I mourn for her daily I find no relief My soul is tormented My heart filled by grief My life without meaning No feelings but pain Death claimed my lady I can't love again My bedmate is rage My friend misery I live for my death 'Cause she's waiting for me ------------------ Steven Seaman |

This was very good, it really moved me. I think you are right... from what I have seen, time does NOT heal all wounds, though we all like to think it does. I think healing requires a combination of things... all different for each person. Bravo, for such a well-written piece! ------------------ Shannon D. Montgomery ("Krystal") |

it's funny how quickly things can change. How quickly one's feelings can change You think something is forever and you are fooled. |

I literally feel this one. Death claimed my love also. Although I can't say that I ever wanted to die it's true something inside of me has died. I don't think we will ever be the same people we were before but with God's help we can go on with life. (I'm assuming this is about you). Great poem. |
