Lise Clendening Poet Rhyme

Stay - 09-03-2024

You left without a goodbye.
I didn’t see the time go by.
I think of you every day,
And I cry and pray.

I remember your smile.
I would walk a mile
Just to see you for a moment.
The pain leaves me spent.

Years ahead without you,
Years behind seem so few.
Alive but not living,
Sunrises and sunsets are fleeting.

Looking for meaning
In every morning.
Your father, sister, brother, and nephew
Are the reasons why I see the dew.

Help me stay
For another day,
So that those we love
Are protected under the cove
And won’t feel the pain
Of another heartbreak
At the wake.

In loving memory of my daughter, Karyn.

Panagiota Romios January 1, 2025 at 11:58 AM Wow, Lise. I’ve learned a lesson a long time ago.. I was much in the space you were when you wrote the . But I’ve been in that space many times.. it’s almost like a railroad going nowhere. And suffering wanting him to come back.. Here is the good news there is always another hm…billions of men om this planet yet we women need stop moaning I know I know because I have done it too.do not waste your time You are a too good for any man who walked away from you.
