Losing a partner
1

I have been touched by some of the poems people have put on here and thought it may be nice to have a thread where we can share them.

I turn to poetry in times of great emotion.

Here is my recent attempt after losing my wonderful husband so suddenly.

It can’t be real, I’ll wake up soon,
This nightmare life will end,
And you’ll be there beside me,
My love, husband and friend.

But no, I have to face this life,
No matter what the cost,
I have to face the truth that,
The love of my life is lost.

No more to feel your arms,
Surrounding me with love,
No more the sound of mirth
In your witty, joyful laugh,
No more the light will shine
In your ever loving eyes,
But love will be remembered
As I look towards the skies.

I honestly believe that
My I was truly blessed
To have you in my life
And the love we both possessed.

The pain of loss I have to bear,
A sign of that true love,
The empty feeling deep inside
While you wait up above.

I still have work to do on earth,
So I will do my best,
To give the rest of life some worth,
Until with you I’ll rest.

I’m not completely happy with it and I need to tweak some bits but it helped me to write it.

Hi, well we share something but I bet you can’t guess what?
It’s the name and it’s the same spelling. xx

This is one I used for Tony’s funeral
I’m out of sight but it will never be goodbye
For I have left my heart with you so don’t you ever cry
The love that’s deep within me will reach you from the stars
You’ll feel it in the heavens and it will heal the scars

Also
If I should die before the rest of you break not a flower nor inscribe a stone not speak of me in a Sunday voice but be the ones that I have known. Cry if you must parting is hell but life goes on so sing as well
