I Love You

how do i breathe
when you are my air
i am lost & incomplete
without your calm voice..

inside, i shake uncontrollably
as tears stain my face,
no longer an us  now only me
is more than i can bear..

loving thoughts of you
are a deep & painful memory
of the sacred bond we shared
consumed with grief  i rock and rock..

curled tightly in a ball
on a cold unforgiving floor
arms cocoon my quivering body
emptiness overwhelms me..

i love you

the loss consumes me
i am scared i feel nothing
where love lived joyfully
is now a black & desolate void..

you blessed me with your love
i was the luckiest girl on the planet
without you there is no me
when do i begin to feel simply feel..

there is no poetry nor musical note
the only audible sound
is my heart breaking
piece by piece..

i gave myself to you
with honour & respect
you were the first man
who truly saw me for me..

your beautiful mind
& beguiling charm
guided me tenderly with care,
i felt safe i felt 

with all that i am
to the core of my being
my hand is yours eternally
it is you i cherish and adore.

i love you

James Inman Date: 9/21/2016 8:35:00 AM If this is from personal experience I feel for the loss of this special person. No matter how close you may have been you must remember that you are you and you are unique and special in your own right. You will never forget and the love you have will always remain but there are other special people out there that want and need to share with you. You are special. Login to Reply
