I Think of You and Then Set My Tears Free

My world is in the past and I see you there Now nothing has meaning I don’t have a care It’s all gone or been left astray I’m surprised when I can make it through the day I wouldn’t change our time together you know I’m proud I think of you and then I scream out loud I believe in everything and what we had I think of you and the loss and then I get mad You were my true love now you’re a memory to me I think of you and then set my tears free I break down a lot over the littlest thing I wish you were here to make my heart sing I can’t eat at all and I’ve lost weight I try to visualize what to do but I can’t see straight I wouldn’t change our time together you know I’m proud I think of you and then I scream out loud I believe in everything and what we had I think of you and the loss and then I get mad You were my true love now you’re a memory to me I think of you and then set my tears free The days seem longer I try to get lost in the mundane But it does no good when your souls in pain The essence of you haunts me when I’m alone I try to find comfort peace and closure when I visit your stone I wouldn’t change our time together you know I’m proud I think of you and then I scream out loud I believe in everything and what we had I think of you and the loss and then I get mad You were my true love now you’re a memory to me I think of you and then set my tears free It’s all over whelming I don’t know what to do So I pray to god and light a candle for you Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Your looking down from heaven waiting for me in this I trust

Hi Kevin, such a touching verse on loss, one has to feel the pain when reading it which speaks of your ability to reach the reader's heart.

Thanks Elizabeth. That is a great compliment if you can really feel the emotion and it has meaning to you. I am always after the readers heart.

I must tell you there have been so many diverse poems shared here at PoetrySoup yesterday and this morning that I am just now being able to read. Each one is a treasure to the poet who wrote it. It is a pleasure to me to be able to read them. I am so happy yours was among the ones I have read today Kevin. Love, Carol

Love your use of expression in this sad write Kevin. You manage to convey such deep emotion with this piece and I like your use of the repeating stanza. I'm glad that this is not the space your in right now! Best wishes to you Em :)

Hi Jack I just write my poems for everyone. I am really not in this place. I always write about love and loss. Which contest are you talking about? Does this poem meet a criteria of one of the contests? Let me know and I'll enter it. Thanks for your comments
