Debbie Middaugh Poet Rhyme

How I Really Feel

I used to believe that I could not go
a day without your smile.
   The proverb gives an inch,
She wanted a mile.

   The day arrived, it was hard,
The next was harder.
   The sun went away,
My world grew darker.

   I knew that sinking feeling would
Stay a life time.
   I now understand why 
They say love is blind.

   Losing you is not an event that
 happens once it occurs over and over.
   I hit rock bottom, I could
Not sink any lower.

   I lose you every time,
I think about you.
   I'm red with rage or
Deep dark blue.

   I lose you every time
I drink a cup of tea.
   I lose you every time
I see an amputee.

   I lose you when I see
A chevron gas station.
   My world full of regret
And devastation.

   I lose you when,
 I hear music,
   It is no longer
 therapeutic.

   I lose you when I see a
Dark haired boy.
   I truly believed you were
The real Mc coy.

   I lose you every time I
See a woman or a girl.
   When you loved me,
It was out of this world.

   I lose you when I'm
In a store.
   I lose you every,
 seven - twenty-four.

   I lose you every night when
I lay alone in my bed.
   I lost you when I was alive,
I lose you when I'm dead.

   I lose you every day,
My heart will never heal.
   I wish you knew,
How I really feel.

I did a lot of crying to My body shook I have been there. I chose a poem from one of the poets and read it until I healed. It helped me a lot. My body shook when I cried. I thought i would break.
