Without You

I have been on our beach, for 6 hours today I watched it fill up with umbrellas and tourists I watched children play in the sand Adults in the sea playing with a bat and ball I watch families Sons, daughters, mums dads and grandparents Enjoying the golden sun of the Algarve. Children with ice creams spilling down their faces Children covered in sun cream, to protect them from future harm. I sit on dry sands made of miniature fossils And I write, pages upon pages Of pain, sorrow and tears Of lost love, cruelly taken Of sadness and heartbreak Of grieving, Of lost time, never to be regained I cannot write of happy cheerful times I cannot forget I cannot forget. You, Who you were The way you touched me Smiled at me Kissed me Stole my heart Then you left With no goodbye A vacuous space sits Where you should be You were my soul, my Angel my protector Now you are a just a memory Fading in the distance As I wave you goodbye For the last time In my head Tears sting my eyes As I try to walk forwards To our beach Our golden sun Without you…………
