Like 'Dancing On the Ceiling'

I meander as a lonely cloud That drifts on the horizon All alone now love has gone It’s really no surprise then Drifting in and out of life From the outside looking in Even friends and family Can't stop the pain within It’s the sharing and the caring That are my biggest heartache Missing the crazy things we did Feeling my heart will surely break Like ‘Dancing on the Ceiling’ Lionel singing ‘All Night Long’ ‘Is It Me You’re Looking For’, you sang Oh boy, we really loved that song I miss you hugging me so tight No single word was needed As we embraced my one true love My heart and soul to you conceded To laugh and cry with tears of joy Like when we had our baby boy No one to share with anymore When I get home and shut my door For loneliness it never ends In spite of love from family and friends Who love and care and do their best But it’s not enough for me I quess It is the touch It is the sharing It is the knowing It is the caring You see I miss you darling dear So lonely now that you’re not here Written 22nd October 2018 Contest Name Your best unacclaimed poem | Sponsor John Hamilton 2nd Place Contest All Yours (Jan 21) Sponsor Brian Strand FIrst Place

Thank you so much John for sponsoring and judging the contest and for enabling me to resubmit my poem. It was in 2008 that my husband and soulmate died and yet the pain never really leaves you... with kindest thoughts Ann xx
