Oh the tenderness I miss! I cannot get through this!
Why did it have to end? Why did it come to this?
That day you suddenly died, oh my heart broke in two!
Each dawn of another day, my love, I will be missing you.
When will I see you once again? Oh you were my heaven sent!
Can I see that precious face? Can I see it once again?
Just to look you in the eyes and to say, “I love you friend.”
That would chase my blues away. When will I see you once again?
A promise we both made. We would always be together.
For you to up and leave me now, to think of it? No never!
My love, sweet love, you were my life! You were my truth!
Would it be out of place to say that I’m still in love with you?
Now I may be asking just a little bit too much.
I just wanna hear you breathe again, to kiss and feel your touch.
Every second of every hour; every day, week and year.
I swear now to keep you close till again I have you here.
For all time and each season, as long as there is morning dew.
This I’ll do…commit my all, my heart, my soul only to you.
When will I see that sweet face? When will my broken heart mend?
Oh so long now it’s been! When will I see you once again?
When will you hold me in your arms? To feel your heart beat again?
To read, “I love you” from your lips…give all to see it once again!
I miss you.

This is one heck of a soliloquy! I don’t think it would be out of place in more than a few Shakespeare plays, Well done friend. Excellent attention to meter here as well, it’s sad but satisfying in it’s completeness and tone. Like the next scene could resolve things for better or worse.
Thanks man! I try being a voice for others as this poem was originally written for a friend who lost the love of her life. After writing this I saw that it spoke for not just her but many others as well. Appreciate ya!
Heart breaking but beautiful x
Thank you much HSTEVENS! <3
This is incredible, bro. So transporting, tragic and elevating all at the same time. I’ll never be able to get enough of your material. Immense respect to you and your talent 🙂
Thanks CY! That really means a lot coming from a talent such as yourself!
