Christine Lucas Poet Elegy

A Life of Emptiness

Since the day that you died
Many tears I have cried
Enough to fill all the oceans
Unable to control my emotions

My heart being broken in two
With the loss of you
This is the greatest pain I ever had to endure
From this dreadful pain I see no cure

Life now seems so bleak
Grief has left me weak
Emptiness invading my soul
Never again will I feel whole

From my feelings I cannot flee
As the world goes on without me
Pain within me is here to stay
That's the way it's been since that day

Happiness for me is no more
A life of emptiness is what's in store
How do I go on each new day
When you must be so far away

Duke Beaufort October 1, 2011 at 9:32 AM I think you have captured an element of grief that is so very sad. This makes me wish that something wonderful will happen for you so that you can go on. I am sure the one you lost would want that for you. Your poetry is heart-wrenching. Thank you for sharing.
