I never thought

[Dagless]

I still see your face when I close my eyes to blink

I still hear your voice when I try to stop and think

I never thought I could feel so much pain

Body beaten to its knees and mind insane

 

And as the pain takes hold I let go of the tears

I’m caught in the land slide of sadness and fears

I never thought that I would want to die to be with you

Willing time to turn back, wishing the truth was untrue

 

But grief is just love with no where to go

You have to let it in, let it out, let it flow

A voice inside lets me know its ok to feel like this

Cry for everything you lost and everything you’ll miss

 

You never left my side I still feel your hand on my shoulder

Your touch will keep me warm as the world grows colder

I never thought I’d find myself at a crossroads with only one way to go

Time will lead me away from the future we’ll never know

 

So I’ll pick up my memories of you and put them in my heart

Take a look down the road I have to walk, a new beginning a new start

Death can’t kill love it lives on forever

And now everywhere I go we’ll go together.

That is really cool, even for a guy like me. i felt each word as my own, nearly cried to be honest. i just met my ex (who left me 2 months ago) for practical reasons as i am in very LC. very touching. Thanks

I liked it a lot. Reminds me of how I felt when my true love broke up with me back in 1999

That's really beautiful poem, dagless. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes. It's so heartfelt and touching.

 

I am sad for your loss.

That's a beauty, Dagless. It really says it all. You've captured so much here...

 

I especially love this

 

But grief is just love with no where to go

 

That is SO true! Grief is love turned inside out, and overflowing. People think grief is just sadness, but what is that sadness but loving aching?

 

I love the end, too.

 

Keep writing.

[Dagless]

Thanks for the comments everyone. I don't write much poetry it doesn't really come that easily to me but I do plan to write some more.
