Deafening Sadness Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Listening in this deafening sadness to melodies of a broken
heart, tasting the bittersweet honesty of love as it used
to fill me so sweetly when we two were together.

Making love, enjoying life as one, dreams and happiness
connecting us, looking forward to the amazement of our
future through the years.

Now alas, you've been taken away from me, life has ceased to
exist without you my dear, saddened tears are all that's left
to me now.

Remembering and missing you with all my heart, my one and only
love in this life, reaching for you at night, nothing to grasp
or hold, you have left me, your side of the bed lies cold like
the death that has taken you from me forever my love.
