Two of My Poems About Loss

Here I am posting two poems I wrote when my soul mate
passed away. I was so overcome by his loss,
writing was what I turned to.

Saying Goodbye

When you left this Earth to walk among the angels,
I knew your pain was gone.
I still see your face in the moonlight
though you are no longer here.
I know you still live in the hearts
of those who loved you.
You had so many demons to fight
though I was always in your corner
it wasnt enough.
The time came for you to say good bye.
When your spirit left your body,
I could feel you leave
I did not even have the
strength to cry
My heart and soul are shattered
Lying in pieces all around me
here I stand wondering what is
left for me.
Time is supposed to heal all,
but, nobody told me time
would slow to a crawl.
Though i know you walk
among the angels
your pain is gone
now it is only mine.
I am still struggling
to finally say good-bye.

Some Day Soon

When I take the first breath
of morning I struggle with
the dawn.
It is still so hard
to force myself to
get out of bed.
Life has to continue
it just keeps moving along.
One day I hope to find
the peace I need so
desperately.
the pain continues to
hurt so deeply.
All I want is to be with you
once again,
maybe it will be someday
soon.
