Loneliness

Loneliness was losing you ten years ago I now wake up each day your side empty I miss the cuddles and early morning sex the endless hours without your smile. No-one to share special moments with. At night once the door shuts others out and the long hours creep by each one darker It is now I again feel the isolation. No-one to share a joke or smile with, in others minds you are now forgotten yet for me it is still like yesterday. Endless hours stretching out, on and on. No-one to hold me when I weep in despair or to wipe away the tears and comfort me. I smile when people visit, offer some tea but deep inside the tears never stop. People tell me its time to forget, well that would mean cutting out my heart. For without you I am less than nothing It is all the memories that comfort me. The joyous times we together shared and the life we lived together harmoniously. My heart still belongs to you, none measure up how could they? You and you alone are my soul. So resigned I live with loneliness fill my days with things to do. Taking comfort in friends and family Yet once the door closes loneliness sets in. Written 11/19/2014 contest: Faces of Loneliness
