Bob Quigley Poet Rhyme

Love Interrupted

Love Interrupted

My footsteps crunch upon the gravel drive
It is the only sound, the silence broken	
A sense of solemn sadness I derive
The pain I thought I'd buried has awoken

The granite marker calls as if to say
Come closer, stay awhile, we've missed you so
Suppressed emotions since you went away
Rush to my eyes, Oh God, I loved you so

I bend and kiss the ground in which you sleep
Hoping that you know that I am here
Fond memories of the love we shared I reap
Pictures on my heart that keep you near

My fingers brush the carvings on the stone
And know that I no longer can remain
I'm coming love, you will not sleep alone
The blade upon my wrist seeks out the vein
