The Joy of Love and the Pain of Loss

Lying Next To Me

I woke up this morning and what did I see?

A beautiful girl lying next to me

Her pretty hair and beautiful eyes

What a lovely sight before sunrise

As the alarm rang I greeted her with a smile

Then put my arms around her and held her for a while

She gave me a gentle kiss on my face

That somehow told me I was in the right place

Her warm embrace, what a wonderful feeling

Such a kind heart and soul could do so much healing

A Really Nice Day

I’m writing this to you to try and say

Here’s hoping you have a really nice day

But something more is on my mind

Your beautiful smile and cute behind

I’m really enjoying our time together

The memories are bringing me sunshine during this cloudy weather

The wonderful times, the pleasant talks

And all the romantic nature walks

So I thought of you this poem I would write

I can’t wait until the next time I hold you tight

Underneath the glow of the moon

I hope that I will see you soon

So have a wonderful evening and restful night

And dream of me holding you tight

Your Companionship

I want to call you, but I’m trying to be strong

Some parts of the day feel so long

I wish things went differently for you and me

Back to the way things used to be

I know you and I had a special time together

But that doesn’t help temper this emotional weather

A rollercoaster I seem to be on

I’ll bet I could write a country music song

I guess I miss your companionship

At this hour I feel I’m in a rut, a dip

I guess I miss having you around

Hearing your voice, a beautiful sound

I know that we will be friends for life

But four months ago you said you’d be my wife

It helps me to write this stuff out

You probably know what I am talking about

I don’t know if I should send this to you

If it is something that I should do

But for now, it has helped me get on with my day

I believe this is all I have to say

Your Poison Words

Your false promises flow through my head, like the souls of the damned down the river Styx

Their screaming echoes relentlessly bounce off the walls of the deep, dark tunnel

Scaring my emotionally fragile, eggshell mind

Cracking it beyond recognition, thoughts changed, perception distorted

A thick fog has clouded my mind, clarity forever unobtainable

What have you done to me?

I trusted you when you said you loved me
