Emptiness Of Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Wending my way through the emptiness of life now that
you have died and left me, heart hurting so deeply with
your misfortune.

Wishing I understood the reason you were taken from me,
I cannot bear the loneliness, it is all-consuming.

Can you hear my tears echoing in the past that we once
had?

Loneliness shaking me to the core of my being, whatever
happened, we where so happy and in love.

Then in a flash, you were gone completely from our life
here on earth.

Resisting the temptation to join you, but it's so strong
within my heart and mind now.

How can I carry on without your love, there is no sense
in it anymore.

Crying my heart out day and night, no possibility of
ever seeing you again.

Reaching for you, gathering only emptiness in my arms,
tearing apart the being that I once was.

Now there are only pieces left of what I was, you took
the other pieces with you when departing this earth.

Nothing more left, as I fold myself into the past and
lay myself in a drawer for safe keeping until I can find
a way to be with you again.

Life no longer holds any living or purpose, it has all
gone with you, taking my heart into the vast emptiness
of death with you.
