Departed

Like a rose without color
Like a prose without rhyme
Hope yearns for another
Wishing only for that time

Memories of my departed
Inside my heart drips tears
For my love you try to restart it
But my love can not be shared

You give you make you stay by my side
Hollow is my soul for her I yearn
You pray you cry so hard you try
But forsaken for her I turn

My departed haunts my living soul
Alive I'm just a shell of a man
How can you love me when you know?
Her memory is all that I am.

Fritz, this really touched me. I just had this conversation with someone today about getting into a new relationship while not recovered from a past love. You spoke true words and what I tried to express. Jeanie Fieman
