Kevin Clark Poet Rhyme

I Think of You and Then Set My Tears Free

My world is in the past and I see you there
Now nothing has meaning I don’t have a care
It’s all gone or been left astray
I’m surprised when I can make it through the day

I wouldn’t change our time together you know I’m proud 
I think of you and then I scream out loud
I believe in everything and what we had
I think of you and the loss and then I get mad
You were my true love now you’re a memory to me
I think of you and then set my tears free

I break down a lot over the littlest thing
I wish you were here to make my heart sing
I can’t eat at all and I’ve lost weight
I try to visualize what to do but I can’t see straight

I wouldn’t change our time together you know I’m proud 
I think of you and then I scream out loud
I believe in everything and what we had
I think of you and the loss and then I get mad
You were my true love now you’re a memory to me
I think of you and then set my tears free

The days seem longer I try to get lost in the mundane
But it does no good when your souls in pain
The essence of you haunts me when I’m alone
I try to find comfort peace and closure when I visit your stone

I wouldn’t change our time together you know I’m proud 
I think of you and then I scream out loud
I believe in everything and what we had
I think of you and the loss and then I get mad
You were my true love now you’re a memory to me
I think of you and then set my tears free

It’s all over whelming I don’t know what to do 
So I pray to god and light a candle for you
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust 
Your looking down from heaven waiting for me in this I trust

Elizabeth Wesley August 23, 2011 at 9:34 PM Hi Kevin, such a touching verse on loss, one has to feel the pain when reading it which speaks of your ability to reach the reader's heart. Kevin Clark August 24, 2011 at 6:59 AM Thanks Elizabeth. That is a great compliment if you can really feel the emotion and it has meaning to you. I am always after the readers heart.
