-Just the Thought of It


I cannot fathom a life without you

The mere thought fills me with absolute fear

Together since our teen years

Not sure how well l could do life without you here


Life by your side is an honour

You are my soul and hearts fuel

Yet death will one day separate us

Life behaving painfully cruel

That unfortunately is inevitable for all of us, like you, Deb, I try not to go there. I suppose there is truth in the saying," it is better to have loved and lost than never loved at all'. another great write, Deb XX

The sad but inevitable truth of love, life and death, Deb. I’m not remotely religious but I hold on to this notion… If you can love and cherish your memories, perhaps your memories can love and cherish you.

I am certain many will relate to this one Deb. Obviously not something one wants to dwell on but it is good to have some sort of plan. You know, nothing lasts forever. Take care young lady:)

I can resonate with this poem so deeply, i sometimes think of this, how i can survive without some loved ones, it truly makes me sad. The way you express always leaves a very resonating touch. Felt this sincere poem. Sending you light today and always

They leave a void that can't be filled, I often wonder how people carry on when they lose a soulmate. Tom

I like your poem on life without a loved one you've come to see as a permanent fixture in your life. I cannot imagine life without my Sara. God help me are I will die of heartbreak. Thanks for sharing your poetry with us, Deb. I enjoyed reading your poetry today. Hugs, Bill
