O' I Wept, Tears Shattering Broken Souls

O' I Wept, Tears Shattering Broken Souls


I wept hard from noon until late midnight,
feelings for her loss, no other has known,
for lost vision of her face in cool morns;
and sweet, gentle moments her love brought flight.

That day, sun fell into scathing abyss,
her dear soul touch my hand the last time,
she had been my steady rock, my true heart;
earthen angel I shall forever miss.

Looking into closed eyes for a clear sign,
for her love and its soothing warmth anew,
nothing came, not even that beaming smile;
not needed words- "you will always be mine".

O' I wept, tears shattering broken souls
Where epic depths of lonesome sadness blows!
