Trix De Ruiter Poet Rhyme

Are You Still There

I see you sitting in your chair
 I ask by myself : Are you still there?
 I have known you once so strong
 Seeing you now looks so wrong
 In your face I see marks of pain
 Was your long journey in vain?
 Why can’t you smile anymore?
 I can’t open your closed door
 Looking in your empty eyes
 Once so alive and once so wise
 Only a body in a chair I see today
 The person I once knew, went away

Beata Agustin November 10, 2024 at 10:47 PM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Tim Smith May 4, 2014 at 3:29 PM This is so sad Trix....hugs Tim Trix De Ruiter May 7, 2014 at 7:40 AM Thank you, Tim. It is sad to realize that a friend is not really there anymore. I think I said good bye with this poem. My friend died a week later.
