Though You Are Gone Poem by Lodigiana Poetess

Though You Are Gone



In night's still calm, words hushed and raw
‘Please send him back to me once more'
In truth a vow too strong to break,
a heart too shattered now to take
the lies and hurt of words once said,
keep painting pictures in my head.
I never thought of love as pain,
that strikes me time and time again.
I dreamed of hazy, sunlit days
and nights that set my flesh ablaze,
but love that's lost is dark and deep,
It infiltrates the sleep I sleep.
I know I never will be free
until you come back home to me.
Yet reason roars within my soul
I thought it you who made me whole,
but louder now the voice within
is telling me I must begin,
that that was then andthis is now,
I will survive this grief somehow.
You left, I hurt, but life moves on
and I'm still here, though you are gone…

i've had trouble with some of the wording, e.g. " Yet reason roars within my soul I thought it you who made me whole, but louder now the voice within is telling me I must begin, that that was then andthis is now, " I'd edit it with " to believe (or realize) " after " begin" . bri :)

Its a light verse heavy in meaning. Beautiful and heartfelt. Hopefully its just a poem but if real life sorry about that. We live to love another day
