Material Things

my love that i save for you
it's still yours, it's still true
the time you spend on my mind
is constantly all the time
the way that i care for you
it's still there i still pray for you
the way that i feel for you
yes, i'll still die for you
my adoration is alive and well
i'll always be under your spell
though my heart is broken
it still works
taking what love is left
and covering up the hurt
but my love like a ghost
having no where to roam
wonders around aimlessly
having lost his home
some say he'll live
and some say he'll die
each one having a reason 
for themselves why
but where ever you are
there my love will be
none of what i feel for you
will ever cease

Coming from the heart John. It is hard to lose the one you love and it will take time. I feel your loneliness in this poem. God Bless Phyl
