Stand and Weep?

I bid you farewell No more my story to you can I tell I shall not see you again We shared so much and then You are gone and I am done for, that is how it shall be gone the closeness, no more the intimacy Lost to me now the warmth of your touch, One last word I crave so much No more the delight of you in my sight No longer can I remember your voice, it does not feel right Your voice, the sound that brought such joy I strain to hear so hard I try But you are gone And I am done For, that is how it shall be You will become just a memory Each moment of my day your company I sought Your fullness once occupied my every thought I weep now and cannot console, A darkness smothers my once vibrant soul No comfort can I take, but wait not so quick to dismiss our fate For I shall follow where you have gone When I am done For that is how it will be A life spent in eternity Patrick Brennan 2009 ©

This is an excellent poem. It's very expressive and the theme stands out. I also like the flow of the rhyming pattern and how it moves the poem along. Welcome to Poetry Soup and keep writing. Blessings, Joseph
