A Nightmare

"  A NIGHTMARE "

I remember the good days,
When you were there to hold my hand.
Teaching me the right ways,  
You protected me from the wrong end.

You taught me how to fly,
And that the limit is beyond the sky.
In all my ups and downs,
You were the one to count on.

But I woke up to this nightmare,
That you've been sent elsewhere .
Now the heart carries a deep wound,
I promise I try, but can't move on.

Like a constant in my life,
Your support helped me survive.
Your prayers kept me strong,
Helping me face the darkest times. 

And I woke up to this nightmare,
That your soul was to be found nowhere,
Earth was gloomy in dismay;
I remember that dark September day.

The sorrow is too much,
For I cannot bear the loss,
Because I feel very small,
I'm afraid I'll stumble and fall.   
                                                  
For I woke up to this nightmare,
And I miss your love and care,
They ask me to move on,
But I deny the fact that you're gone.

A very beautiful written poem, it s really sad but true, I believe you re mentioning your parent here and believe me without them to lead the the right way the life becomes hell, these are only persons we miss throughout our life, in all of our happiness we feel their absense however I m new on this site and would really appreciate if you could find time to read my poems and give your honest reviews about them, and i m also from pakistan

Your Rhyme (that is what it is :) is well written and deeply emotional. It speaks of great loss and sadness. Moving on can be so painful, and everyone should be allowed to do that at their own pace. Welcome to PoetrySoup.

Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts. And you're right; moving on can be very difficult but it's not like we have a choice.
