The Roads Not Taken

Regrets on the roads not taken.
Wondering what would have happened,
What could have happened,
If I just gave love one more chance.
Would my heart be whole or,
Still as empty and broken,
As it is now.
The one and only to ever feel,
Died in my arms and that,
Is also where my heart died.
I see you when you come,
For me at night.
Standing there just looking,
Making sure I'm alright.
I feel you as my heart breaks.
I yearn for you every day every night.
I watch the same movies over and,
Over again only because they're yours.
Are you still waiting for me?
I know your always there,
Especially when the lights flicker.
It's always at night,
When I miss you the most.
I put your shirt on your pillow,
So when I drift off your,
Always near me.
I woke up one morning and,
Your shirt was gone.
I looked in the corner and,
It was folded in the chair.
That's when I knew you were here.

Hugs Darlene De Beaulieu June 12, 2022 at 10:21 AM Hello Shirley, yes that is what happens with grief. I do agree. That is right they are never too far away. Hugs. Shirley Hudson June 12, 2022 at 5:34 AM Yes your absolutely right. That's what helps with the grief. 40 years later and I still have dreams where I feel positive that they're always around me or watching from above. If you feel they're around then they're never too far away from you.
