An Empty Lifetime Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Looking through mirrors of yesterday, seeing images
of your face hauntingly reminding me of our lives
together in harmony and love.

Regaining feelings held closely through all these
years brings tears to my eyes and heart as I attempt
to continue living in an empty hell for a lifetime.

Solemnly partaking in cups of sorrow as grief binds
my mind and heart to you forever.

Saddened by your departure from this world, hanging
on to whatever I can remember in thoughts you have
left behind as reminders of our love once upon a time.

Falling sorrow staining my mind always, with images of
your face alongside mine while growing up.
