Lost In Thought

 

Where have they gone,

those who meant the most to me.

Some have passed away,

while others disappeared.

 

 

My dreams fill with images of them.

Their words echo in my ear.

Why did they go,

and leave me behind.

They have taken my heart

and left me unable to go on.

 

 

A lost battle with cancer

took my sister from me.

Goodbyes were never said.

I hope she knew I loved her.

 

 

Dad quickly taken,

his heart gave up on him.

Again no goodbyes were said.

 

 

Three loves have I had.

Lost one to the bottle,

another to his own ignorance.

 

 

But the one I love the most,

I lost to his people,

he had to do his duty.

Never got to hear his voice,

nor got to see his face,

or look into his dark eyes.

 

 

But I did get to hold his heart,

as he still holds mine.

I can feel his deep emotions,

even though he has gone away.

Promises we made

we shall never break.

And I know without hesitation,

if he ever had the chance

I would be with him,

Forever and always.

    Superb

    A very fine write and tribute. You expressed your thoughts quite well. This also reminded me of a poem which I wrote, called "Bridges". Here's a link to it:

    SO TENDERHEARTED!!!

    We all lose as we go through life, others seem to lose more than others though. We do have our sweet memories in our hearts and will always keep them there to remember.

      To lose one is normal but to lose them and not be able to say goodbye is hard to forget. Sometimes memories arn't enough.

    Sis, You succeeded, and in perfect form too. Your words spill out from the heart, exactly as I suggested.
    You need to air you thoughts and emotions, and have some sort of closure when loved ones are taken. It is hard to understand, but now you have took the first steps, and that was the hard part. From now on the path will be lighter because all have seen that you love them dearly, I'm proud of you Sis.

        Venting always helps. I use poetry to help me through hard times. You see things in yourself through the words that spill out of you, something you never knew about yourself. Its amazing what emotions can do when the pen is in your hand
