Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

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.
