By HomeGrown

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

you are gone now, but still you reside inside my mind left for parts unknown, yet still very known to my dreams fathoming the future is harder than ever before and i don't know why i surely didn't need you, or even enjoy your company you lied to me like it quenched your thirst like it was the daily bread which gave you life you stole my soul, and condemned it as the cheapest of all your thievery but at night, when i wake to a clenched throat and a tear it is your image that holds all other senses at bay you took my life, and ran as only a coward would my wife, my greatest love, my deepest torment this is the reality to love you still, and know that you are finally gone i miss you, at times, my love my wife, my love, my lossI lost my wife several years ago. She took my daughter, and my heart. I still want my daughter back. Written September 5th, 2001 © on Sep 04 2001 04:42 PM PST, DeTavis   0 • 1
