Now You're Gone, Poem by Chloe Lubinska

I know that I love you
In life and after death
Makes it easier too,
The epitome of loneliness.

I miss you now you're gone,
And also when you weren't
Took your light, it brightly shone,
From a world revealed so hurt.

Sorry I didn't notice
The tears on your face,
Or beckon to the lotus
In your crystal iris lake.

The lotus in your eyes
That stared so lovingly,
Although so lost they cried.
They kept a strength in me.

I miss your warming arms
That kept the cold off life,
Kept so safe from harm
Like a shield to a knife.

I don't know what to do now
Keep living in your name?
Keep looking up into the clouds
To find you if you came?

I don't know if you'll smile
Again for me to see
After twisting in a trial
Of life that's yet to be
