Pitiful Tears

Pitiful Tears

You went away and left me sweetheart
I know through no choice of your own
I am missing you every day since, my dear
The days are now years that you left me alone

One foot in front of the other
Is how I have coped with passing time
The years creeping slowly by
With me remembering when you were mine

All the good times we shared together 
The laughter and all the fun
So much of our life we enjoyed 
Being together when each day was done

I will love you all the days of my life sweetheart
Many years now it has been since you were laid to rest
But my heart will never forget the love we shared
As long as it continues to beat in my chest

I have lived these many years without you
One foot placed  in front of the other,,,
Some days I wonder why do I do it
And other days I have yet to discover

Now I have no idea what I need to do
There must be a reason I am still here
So I will try real hard to figure it out 
Count my blessings, and dry up these pitiful tears

What a wonderful poem!!! I rated it a 7 - hoping it's the highest - no explanation of it on here that I could find.

thank you Louise. Sometimes things just come from the heart and you just have to write them down. Connie

Connie....it's never easy loosing someone you love, no matter how much time has past....its good that you can express your sentiments in words though, and share it with us. Thank you
