lonely heart

Posted Jun 23, 2023 · 40 lines · 9 critiques

I felt you drift away
as the tethers slipped,
I knew I'd be alone
ties that bound were clipped

I always knew that day
would eventually come around,
I know that it's a wonder
I couldn't hear an earthly sound

I watched as your chest fell
you took that final gasp,
and all around was silent
as your body I'd enclasped

As I held on for a dear life
I didn't know up from down,

Read the rest of the poem Show less

knowing I had to say goodbye
the tears I shed would drown

As I laid you back
softly on your sheet,
slowly sitting down
was a mammoth feat

Saying those silent farewells
in the hours that followed,
statue still I was shadow
my insides had been hollowed

As the months have rolled by
I have gone through the motions,
a ghost to life and laughter
I've been devoid of all emotion

This loss was like no other
and this grief has torn a hole,
right through my very centre
I no longer feel I'm whole

I don't know how to go on
without the man that made me,
so, I come and go in the telling
until from this pain, I'm free

I know he'd want me to go on
but how does one feel alive,
can joy fill my veins again
and a lonely heart be revived?
