Losing Everything
Can you imagine your life stopping
Without warning just suddenly & final
There’s nothing you can do to change it back
There’s nothing to help you understand what to do
Everything you lived and breathed for
Everything you loved and cherished
In a blink of an eye is now no more
Suddenly you are standing there all alone
No noises from daughters and grand babies
No conversations with a beautiful wife
Echoing off the walls that had witnessed it all
Years of working , loving & growing as a family
Making memories for 2 lovebirds to talk about as they age
when all the young ones had grown and left the home
Now just when things started calming down
And we could finally see light at the end of the tunnel
Our future brighter than ever and our love growing even stronger
After our first twelve years of falling more and more
In love with each passing day and every beat of the heart
Just 5 min ago I said I love you and you said I love you to
Who would’ve thought they would be our final words
Who would’ve thought after 12 years of an fairy tale marriage
On this autumn night in October that my entire life would stop
That the foundation we had built against all odds
Would cease to exist forever more
The boy that you had made into a man
Would now be lost forever without a way
Eyes once shining bright with a glow
Now faded to darkness and now guided by demons
Just to escape the pain

My wife of 12 years died suddenly & unexpectedly in my arms at 10:00pm on a Friday night on October 12 , 2007 I was traumatized to say the least. I was 35 years old , a mechanic in textiles, lived in a brick house on 65 acres out in the country. I had 2 beautiful step daughters and 2 wonderful grandsons in which due to the darkness I turned to just to escape the pain and stay alive I also lost on that night. The events that took place that night play over & over in my head every single day for the past 16 years. I'm happy to say I've finally found love again and found the light again through the darkness. The intention of this poem is to help anyone who has met their soulmate never take them for granted , don't waiste one sec over arguments or worries just enjoy the beauty and blessing of true love.
Hello Darrin...
I'm so sorry...
You give hope that you can love again...
When you're in your 30's I think in ways it's different when you're in your 70's...
There are stories of people reconnecting with someone they knew decades ago and they marry at 100 and 99...
A brand new love and you're ready...
That's a present...
Congratulations!
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Best wishes and blessings...
