LEFT

He left me.
He boldly said good-bye!
He left me.
His mind made up, he left me.

I received the news this very evening.
That last night, he left me for another.
The pain began in my heart-
Reaching my tear ducts in but a moment.
Internal storm.
Time stopped........
For both he....and I.
On different plains of emotion-
He left me.

I'm hurting-
Memories-"waves" of memories-
Pain, Fresh, deep.
I was not ask for my thoughts.
Has time started yet again?
The clock is faceless.
He left me.

I do not fully understand his logic.
I do know his love for me passionate; profound.
My senses take hold of this new dance.
No music heard.
Moment forever suspended.
My love? Still his....in depth.
Yet on this Tuesday night-
You merely spoke his name-
and
He left me........
God...... for you.

Thanks. I almost didn't share this one...almost to personal for me...but it is a part of healing. I wrote this the very night my fiancé died. I miss him so much! It was the first of....well....... a series about him!

WOW!!.....this is an amazing write!!.....almost like he was there with you when you wrote it!!.....SO powerful in its honesty.....and the formatting adds so much to the almost "conversation-like" wording between you, him, and God!.......if Cherie didn't tell me about this......I would have missed it.....and I would have missed something VERY special here.....I can almost see this just pouring out of you the night he passed......unbelievable write......sadness incarnate!!......PINNED....have to save this.......It's truly amazing......ALL STARS......your cyber-friend and admirer!!......T xo ?

Thanks Tony. I am so glad that it is understood by others.....somehow that in itself is a comfort to me. Good night!

Thank you Debs. I wrote this one and "Untitled Because" about the same person. My fiancé. He died less than two years ago. He is Home....safe forever! God has his reasons. I just hurt. But, have healed much. I do not look at pain as always been the "Bad Guy".I know I'm different! I have been told such all my life.......and I know it to be true!!!!! I see pain as an indication of love's depth many times. It is in itself a healing tool. We must use it wisely.......and oft times it transforms itself to poetry in my life. Thanks again for visiting! Take Care!
