seems like only yesterday

Missing image
things haven't quite been the same
ever since you've been gone...
my world seems...

dead.

sunny days no longer part the fog ~
so dense, both in mind and heart.
no sign of life...all is lost.

"seems like only yesterday..."
a tad cliche, but, alas, 'tis true...
yesterday you were in my arms,
so full of life, vigor...

now...nothing.
life has no meaning, life has no...life!
neither flowers nor leaves decorate
my life's pathway.

barren, lifeless trees are all that remain,
stark reminders of the loneliness before me...

seems like only yesterday i held you in my arms
before i lovingly slit your throat,
ending the pain that engulfed your body...

seems like only yesterday
i set your soul free.

now all that's left...

is me.

    This has the air of darkness but the ending is his act of love.

    WOW! I love this poem so much. so much power behind your words.. the emotions are so powerful. amazing how much a person that we love can affect us and our lives. pain no matter if its physical, emotional or spiritual it can be so intense and so profound that it has a lasting effect on us. leaving an imprint if you will upon our soul.

    I love the last 4 lines, so in depth, so full of truth.

    I love this poem

    excellent doesn't even begin to cover it,.

      hi kat~

      thank you, i'm glad you enjoyed the read. i needed a few days to let the world go away for a while and let me think...

      i've been wondering why this guy was outside a crypt, what he's thinking. the period looks to be 1800s, so perhaps modern laws would not apply and i think perhaps he had a loved-one suffering from cancer or such and he helped put the person at ease. a morbid thought by today's standards, kind of like assisted suicide (which i'm not actually for). for the sake of the write i allowed myself to go there.
