Walking away, I have done too many times, I am left with memories that live in my rhymes; at funerals- I have turned and walked away, my beloved lay with the flowers that decay. O, I walk away from my beloved with tears, I return to cold tombs no matter how many years; I have walked away from my sweet beloved pets, putting my dearly loved in the hands of vets. Walking away is something I seem to do well, the pain of this turning away is my living hell; this is a sorrow that no one ever forgets, but loving is something no one ever regrets. So when the dead are put to rest, I walk away, but safe in my heart they will forever stay. __________________________ December 14, 2015 Poetry/Rhyme/ Safe in My Heart Copyright Protected ID 18-1604-424-01 All Rights Reserved.

Chris thank you for visiting my poem and for the beautiful comment. I have lost almost every person I loved to death. Have gone to way too many funerals. Each death is a plunging knife to my heart, but I have learned to use that pain in my words. The pen is powerful.

Dear Heart, this is a sad one and unfortunately one that I am sure many can relate to. I think that sadness at times will be a part of everyone's life. Your poem is as beautiful as it is sad. But, somehow reading it made me smile because of its beauty.
