Echoes Of Our Love Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Since we parted, life has been nothing but loss,
echoes of our love penetrate my mind with lonely
tears, flooding these two eyes.

Everywhere I look are memories of what we used
to do and share together, lonely nights are the
worst.

No one around at all, just the crickets singing
tributes to your once upon a life, our house is
now so empty, it belongs to only me.

Wandering aimlessly through the rooms, touching
gently, all the beautiful reminders you have left
behind for me.

Figurines, statues, mementoes of places we have
gone together, a lifetime of memories now gathering
dust, for you are no longer here to care for them.

Leaving behind all the wonderful, tantalizing moments
that we shared as one, missing them all, wishing you
were here to share them with me still.
