Wake In Mourning

First thought when I wake up,
Is how much I miss you,
I think of the light in your eyes,
Your beautiful smile too,

Your infectious laughs,
The dreams I had for you,
The goals you made,
And the ones you pushed me to do,

Your pure heart,
How some days you pushed through,
Still always lifting others,
I'm so proud of you,

I miss your hugs,
Your kisses and stories too,
I never thought this life,
Would provide so few,

Sometimes I pick up my phone,
To call or text you,
Tell you something funny, 
Or just ask what's new,

But then I remember,
What I wish wasn't true, 
You're no longer on this earth, 
I no longer have you,

How do I face each day, 
I haven't got a clue,
How can the world go on,
It doesn't make sense without you, 

I don't want to face another night,
Or wake to another morning dew,
Not unless this universe,
Gives me back you.

Tom Valles November 19, 2024 at 5:59 AM Beautiful poem. Your pain resonates with me as I reflect upon those I have lost. I hope that the pages of sorrow can somehow be turned to thankfulness for the years that you had with your loved one/s. Much easier said then done.
