Remnants

Dried up tears, coat the surface of my face Leaving a glow, that can never be replaced Forever gone, my heart just holds the trace Of love… her love Body worn, it sought her day and night Heaven knows, I put up one hell of a fight Even though, I lack now morning light I miss the love…her love

This is a sad and tenderly written piece that I think many can relate to. The emotion of this piece is real. The ending lines in both stanzas are perfect. Love, Robin

wow-- I feel for him-- love is gone-- or it isn't, because he missses loving her or having her love him either way-- in this missing love poem--Love is strong :)
