My Emily

She never did come back home that night Me pacing the floor Walking for miles in search of her Leaving me torn apart Spewing with the turmoil of wondering Just what happened to her Who had she been with and why? Engraved on to my mind her name etched in my heart her love, her sighs Spiking my tongue her name cries out My heart splinters my gut receives another jolt God I loved that girl and didn't even know for certain until today But now it is too late I left it too long to proclaim my love for her afraid of the pain which comes from being knocked back still even that is not as I suffer now in the whispering of her name I look in the mirror yet see her reflection stare back at me smiling and tossing back her flowing locks her very presence is felt in abundance Her huge eyes dark as purest deepest sapphires class more expensive than purest diamonds with a charismatic magnetism radiating out overwhelming all within reach of her personality Stolen from this world she was No notice to anyone that she would be leaving Nothing makes sense anymore And I long to know if we shall meet again Some new day in a realm beyone ours Another time another place I'll wait for her as I hope she will for me For true love will never die Based on a true story from Christmas when a young woman went missing - found murdered... My thoughts went to those around her and inspired to write came this, but I have changed the girls name for the sake of those that knew her... So sad to still have these things going onin our world...

I'm sorry to hear this was based on a real event, but am glad it wasn't your personal loss, Anna-Marie. Thanks so much for letting me know. My heart goes out to Emily's parents. Love, Carolyn

Did this really happen to you, Anna-Marie? Did you lose a daughter or another loved one this way? Such a heartbreaking poem. We have to make the most of every opportunity to tell people how much we love them for we never know if we will have another chance. God bless you, dear friend. This beautiful reminder goes to my favorites. Love, Carolyn

gosh, Ana , this is so sad a poem. What inspired this one? It seems like it might be based on something you heard about? On the other hand, I thought perhaps Emily was yourself becuase you said you saw her in the mirror! Well, thanks for your lovely long comment to my poetry. Luv, Andrea
