So Long Poem by Kelly Iyogun

So Long



A broken heart
And a lover gone from this world differ
While the former may find someone to mend the broken heart and move past it, the latter has to live reminiscing memories of the lover who won't be forgotten even if he does find love again.

How does one forget she who can't be forgotten
How does one erase the memories?
The time spent together
No matter how short
How does one move on from this?
Death how cruel can thou be?

Last I heard from her
She said she was coming home soon,
If home was were I was, then homecoming would have been pleasant
But where you went, there I wasn't

Now am left with just memories
Memories of your smile,
Your laughter
Your touch
Your voice
I lay on my bed thinking of you
Memories that used to warm my night now taunts them
For into another realm you went
Far from my reach.

If I could turn back time
I would freeze it at the moment when we were happy together
You asleep in my arms
Me gazing upon your beautiful eyes
That moment
When the world was perfect because you were in it

So long Angel
From heaven you came
My heart you stole
And returned from whence you came
And took my heart along

So long my dear
In another life you will be my girl
And I won't let you go
Not even a mile or a moment from me
For fear I may lose you
But until we meet again
Know I will always love you.










In memory of Cynthia Success Montaz.
