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

Don't know if you still read these, but I was looking back at my fav'd poetry (many of which are yours), and this one is so heartbreaking but beautiful in your emotions and words. I hope you have found happiness.

Finding true love and sharing it with that somebody special is an irreplaceable gift, Lynn. No wonder the loss is so hard to accept. Your words express the pain of such a sad situation. #7 ~ Regards // paul

Loss is so difficult to bear and the grief you have expressed is profoundly moving in your beautifully composed poem Lynn. Anyone who has suffered this kind of pain can relate. Blessings, Connie 7 ; )

Hi Lynn, i feel the unbearable pain in this write. I have to say it is an excellent write as always. Love ever remains within your heart. You are who you are. I see you as a most loving, caring person and i hope you shall always stay this way Lynn. I was moved to tears by this most heartfelt write. There is so much emotion poured into this piece Lynn. How can it help but touch emotion within the reader and such strong emotion at that. A seven and a fave Lynn. Hugs....Mike. XX

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.
