Taken


My dreams and hopes have been taken 
All of the glue and cello tape in the world
Cannot repair the hurt.
I watched as the shooting stars in your eyes 
Used to light up the sky.
Now all of the power in the world cannot
Restore the light.
I loved and protected you, you were
A piece of me, my rib, my sole , my heart, my life.
The sun has gone cold. The light has gone dark. 
The present has no future. 
All of the painkillers in the  world 
Cannot heal the pain.
It is not ‘see you tomorrow’
It is goodbye…forever!

    This is very Sad David, I'm hoping your wife has not been taken, I feel nothing but sorrow. :-( :-( after reading your poem. Nothing heals, once a part of you has been taken, ... I can pour my heart out right now. But, crying is never gonna do me good. Soup mail.... DAVID..... always~ TEX
