One of a Kind

Your grave had my tender love written all over it As my heart seemed buried with you in frozen ground At the time, my strength you always respected left with you No-one anymore to tell me how it is with honesty No-one else to pursue our sole purpose together I only remember black crows cawing in the empty graveyard As if I was the last one on earth, alone in the world For the first time, unsure if I would make it, but I did For you, I faced each day given to me, one at a time Even though I knew part of me would be broken forever I would do it for you, survive the harshness life delivers Accept that I will never again have what we had ---- Because we as people are each one of a kind --- Heidi Sands 11/4/17

What a dedication to a loved one that has passed! In a few days it will be my grandmothers first year since she passed away and it hurts, I know your pain! I know it's hard to lose a loved one, whether it's family or friend, it's so sad and depressing! I really thought your poem based on this subject was written with the utmost skill, very beautifully put together! What an amazing write my friend! Great Work!!
