Oh My Love Where Are You

In the shadows I now dwell, I see not the light. Hidden by my darkened shroud, No spirit left to fight. Existence, but a burden Breathing but a chore. Nothing left to live for, My love, she is no more. Alone I am upon this earth I wish to be elsewhere. Oh my love where are you, For I long to be there. Death has took you from me Mere mortals all are we. But my love for you is endless, It spans eternity.

It s a really sad and lovely poem, really enjoyed reading it, what can we do, this is life, and it goes on no matter what happens, how many people die, no matter how close they are to us,our life will still go on and on. Many congrats on your poem being chosen as the POTD

Such a beautifully sad lost love poem, Gary. Your last stanza, especially, brilliantly highlights your heartache and the contrast of limited mortal life vs eternity. Congratulations on your well deserved POTD honors and best wishes for a win. ~Susan
