One Year

One year ago on Winter’s night, I lost my treasured mate;

It happened very suddenly, a heinous twist of fate!

Here today, gone tomorrow, you floated up afar;

And with you went most of my soul, to guide you to the stars!

The pain I’ve felt is paramount, more than I’ve ever known;

My heart is torn and open bleeds, your loss it won’t condone!

I can’t express in only words, the depths that I miss you;

You’re the culmination of all my dreams, that finally came true!

For years I struggled through my life, till the day that we both met;

Then instantly you changed all that, so straight you then me set!

You took this person torn in half, and made me feel so whole;

I fell in love with our first kiss, and pledged to you my soul!

For many years we shared our love, our souls conjoined as one;

But a year ago you had to leave, and my tears began to run!

I cry for you each day and night, eternal sobbing of my heart,

One year or two, or decades passed, as long we’re apart!
