Your love has caused my soul to die,
yet I keep hanging onto your every word,
I no longer know right from wrong,
my heart beats so slow it cannot be heard.
My days are all full of emptiness,
my heart has been running on empty for awhile,
I am fooling myself with all these vivid memories,
each day I search them for a reason to smile.
The pillow that rest under my head at night,
is soaked with my salty tears,
I lie awake until the morning's light,
then confront another day without you here.
My heart starts to race when I hear the phone ring,
praying with every step it will be you,
the sound of your voice gives me reason to hope,
even though you have told me we are through.
I pray to God to let me die before I lose my mind,
without you there is no reason to live,
you have taken my heart, my soul and my mind,
a shell of a broken woman is all I have left to give.

A great poem, I liked it a lot
It was excellently written with good rhyme as well, keep up the good work It great, especially considering the emotions are 30 years old
Thanks for commenting on my poem, I'm glad it was well recieved, probably that and my prayer (and his talent although he has more talent for decisions than speaking, as everyone knows and I don't need to say ) did the trick It's all I can do considering my birthplace and my age (I'm only 16) Keep writing and thanks for commenting on my poem, you're a constant help

I guess I should write it was only for a contest. I am fine and happy. It robably sounds so real because it was me in my first marriage 30 years ago. I stopped thinking like this ages ago. Thank you so much for your concern. You are a lovely person. Take care, Sandyy
