An Empty Heart

He came again as just before a simple knock upon the door no smiles or kisses did he place a tortured look upon his face i felt his absence standing there the emptied heart i could not bear so many words lay quiet and still a hollow chest he would not fill and what of love so fond and true has time the bandit changed your view a stranger stood before me then last tragic scene when lovers end are all forevers gone for good an empty place where you once stood...

Favorite line among many: "i felt his absence standing there" Yes indeed my friend! He was standing there, yet he was absent...Sad and melancholy feel throughout yet full of grace and elegance - More please....

Sharon ,emotional and sad . Knowing they will never come through the door again. This poem describes the feeling so well. I had almost the same feelings at his grave when planting bulbs . Lost it big time. Nov 17th coming up again. Hugs .Anne

Dear Anne, The only ease of pain I get now is knowing I will see him again...In the mean time, my clocks seem to tick endlessly ... He taught me so many things during his life~just never taught me how to say goodbye.....Love, Shar...Your in my prayers
