When Last He Loved Me I feel his breath on every breeze Hear his whispers in the trees Feel him beside me in bed at night Once again, he’s holding me tight Drifting off to peaceful sleep Wrapped in comfort so warm so deep Loneliness again kept at bay Until morning shines another day I wake to find I’m alone in bed The images just in my head Embraced til dawn— by a memory Remembering… when last he loved me |

Tara, this is very beautiful, and sad. You have done it again, you write the most heartfelt words. Sandra |

so beautifully sad. Look within the heart of a poet, and you will see a reflection of their soul. |

Sven, my guess is because we won't let them go. Thanks everyone for the replies. |

Such memories that can never be erased, I feel with you... that same feeling. Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer. |

Tara, is it that we won't let them go or that our heart can't let them go? I think it is that we can't, not won't. I know that pain and I am willing to let them go, my heart can't. Well written and heart break is sad but it is what we do with it. You have done very well expressing it. Pain that is hard to find the right words takes a good poet to write them. |

Tara-The heart does seem to hold on in ways we can't understand, you've captured the feeling well, nicely done. |

Tara there is no cure for missing someone just the hope to displace that feeling with love for someone else. Beautiful poem Rich |

Tara, You express your feelings so beautifully through your words. I know too well how difficult it is to find solace in sleep when you know that you're going to wake up alone. Waking up from dreams and realizing that they have become memories. Well done, my muse -Jeff |

BDC, thank you. To be able to make the emotions felt by the reader is high praise. JMLee, lol, you don't have to sound so surprised! Sven, thanks for the bump to the top. Jeff, I still say we should write that duet together. Take me as I am or watch me as I go |

Well, who says that we should say "Good-bye"? Perhaps we should just say, "so long" Goodbyes are so, well, just so "goodbye like" Great poem. passion is life. . . ~Diana |

Passions Voice, perhaps we should write a "thanks for the memories" poem. The good times, after all, were great. I treasure them more than gold. Only the end was tarnished. |

It has been a pleasure to watch you grow blossom as a poet...your work becoming increasingly more beautiful by the poem...this is no exception. Sadly, but yet beautifully penned. |

Sorry for the bump to the top, but I just had to thank you, Ruth for the gracious comments. Your praise really means a lot to me. I admire you greatly, both for your wonderful abilities as a writer and as the strong woman you are. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Take me as I am or watch me as I go |
