The days keep going by,
and I am still left wondering why
you are no longer on this earth.
I remember the day I gave birth—
a tiny miracle captured my heart;
gazing at you, I never thought we would part.
My greatest joy was to see you grow;
now you are cold and resting below.
What an honour it was to be your mom;
your memory is like a balm,
soothing me during my darkest hours—
so thankful to call you ours.
Why is the pain so deep?
It brings me to my knees as I weep.
I like to believe that you are still nursing in God’s heaven,
bringing comfort I do not doubt for a second,
doing what came so naturally to you—
dressed as a nurse at two is the picture in view.
The calling you had shined brightly in your brown eyes;
I did not know that you would be saying goodbye.
Thank you, dear daughter, for the thirty years;
and now I am marking two years of your heavenly birthday, it appears.
How is it possible to keep on breathing,
or even finding meaning,
when you left too soon?
I should have wrapped you in a cocoon,
as you are wrapped tightly in my heart
since the very start.
Up slightly past midnight,
we finally called it a day as we
exchanged goodnight kisses and
amorous glances with tired eyes
Half-awake early morn', I lay supine
on the left side of our king-sized bed
I scanned the right up-and-down for her;
with my outstretched arms; surprising vacancy!
She's gone...
unbeknownst to me!
I sprang fully awake with two consecutive thoughts...
"When, oh when will my main squeeze return?"
"She left without saying goodbye?"
Then my face meets the mirror,
and voila! An unmistakable crimson stamp
on my right cheek
to remember her by...
unbeknownst to me!
She did say goodbye, after all.
And I miss her so!

She came to me crying and hurting.
She came to me in a fit of despair.
I saw in her eyes that we'd met long before but I knew that I couldn't have been there.
She demanded my attention, she took hold and would not let go.
She saw in me her life's loves reflection, a ghost of the times of her love, now only sorrow.
Her pain was real and compelling. Her eyes were not telling a lie.
She wanted me to come back to hold her and she wanted to be with her when she died.
Though I knew that our ages were too distant, me a young man and her of senior years. I knew that there was a deep, burning connection through the insanity and truth of her tears.
Before she died she told a story with words that haunt my life to this day.
She told me of a love that had once been, many years ago she had found true love with a young man. A man who had loved her unconditionally and they had their time in the sun.
She reminisced true memories of her joy with this man who now was gone.
Lost in a battle; but I remembered like her words were memories of my own.
As she spoke these words mesmerised me. The sounds described, the smells, the tastes and the times in the sun.
It unlocked the door to dreams I have had with a beautiful woman. I remember the love that we had, I remember those days in the sun.
I remember saying goodbye to my true love and I remember turning to see her face in the sun.
I remember the battle, the horses and swords of no mercy and I remember being a soldier and falling as one.
As she died she held my hand tightly. Her eyes fixed on mine once again. With a smile she passed peacefully and I sat there in memory of her for a while.
I remembered my dreams of love with a beautiful woman, dreams of happiness joy and fun. Dreams of making love in the country were actually memories of a life where once we'd been together as one.
There once was a boy who knew this girl
He loved her with his whole heart
Made her his world
She backstabbed and bruised him
But he still stayed
The girl told the boy it was his fault
The boy felt sad
The boy realized that love can only be bought
He thought to himself why couldn’t he go
Was it because he was attached
The real reason he would never know
The girl never truly loved him
She liked how he made her feel
Little did she know the boys future was grim
They hadn't spoken in weeks
She had no clue how he was doing
But that fateful day was the worst for the boy
He had gone through some problems
He sat on his bed not knowing
Whether to be mad sad or annoyed
He thought to himself this really hurts
He was hurt without her
But to she he was just a blur
That night the boy bought a gun
He had just turned 18
When got home he said aloud
Welp it’s been fun
So he grabbed his phone and called his
loved ones
One last time
Just to make sure they knew
How much he truly loved them
He they gets to his last call
It was the girl
The phone rang, no answer
He left a voice mail saying goodbye
She ignored his call but looked at the voice mail
She stared and stared but never read
The boy loads the gun with one bullet
Thoughts flood his mind
Like who will cry and I really want to die
A tear leaves his eye
because he starts to realize
For someone his body they’d have no choice but to find
He puts the gun up to his head at last he’s satisfied
He’s tied up all lose ends..
Said all his goodbyes
He closes his eyes prepared to die
His suffering can finally end
He pulls the trigger the gun goes BANG
It’s over it’s done
But eventually a poor soul
Found him lying in his blood
They cried, they weeped
They only had one question
Why’d he do it he seemed so happy
But that has no clue about the girl
He once saw as a blessing
Ode,
in the casket you rest, I pray you're blessed;
Gone on to the Father;
to a place of complete bliss;
Father, I hope that you're there;
I pray that this wayward forgiven sinner;
Stays in your embraced arms;
This Father I know you want all of us to cause;
Now that I'm saying goodbye to my love;
This is a farewell to my beauty, my love;
And it's my duty to grieve for my love;
Greatly missed, I must insist;
To you my love goodbye;
You're now on the Lord's side;
To God sweet by and by;
To you my love goodbye;
You lived a long physical life;
A mother, sister, a wonderful wife;
Now it's time to spend eternity;
To you my love goodbye,
but to Jesus Christ and God hello child;
On this physical plain
To you my love goodbye;

Written for project North Omaha Writer’s Group assignment 2019©
Come to me with ease and alleviation,
bring heartfelt moments you learned-
For I know many of hours of contemplation,
and for your strength, I’ve longed and yearned.
I knew from the moment of your creation,
you’d give me a lifetime of tingling sensations-
We started out craving each other’s romance...
...for life had given me a second chance.
When I was told I had only two months to live,
I knew not of any joy that would come my way-
I knew I had so much more love to give,
how hard saying goodbye would be my final day.
All the things I’d ask for you to forgive,
for you’d been so compassionate and supportive-
It was a miracle the cancer did not advance...
...for life had given me a second chance.
So now I live with gratitude and appreciation,
for God delighted me with a fresh start-
Now my life had become a true celebration,
and my true love would still be in my heart.
With much praying and sincere meditation,
I realized how much you had been an inspiration-
And to think it all started with one single glance...
...for life had given me a second chance.

She was having a party
A divorce party
He wasn’t invited
They came prepared
Balloons, rosettes, banners
More people than were at the wedding
Val was very popular
He listened intently
Something about Val, his soulmate
The loud girl with the big heart
He would miss that
The music played on till dawn
He was waiting in the street for the taxi to arrive
She was saying goodbye to the final few
He caught her eye
Sounded like a great night
Yeah, you know me
So how does it feel to be a single woman
Don’t know yet
How long you away for
Three, four months
Gives a call when you get back, we’ll go for a drink
Yeah, that would be nice
Taxi’s here, be seeing you Val
Tony
Yeah
Love you
Love you too Val.
Just in case you forgot to buy milk,
I bought you some more.
Just in case you forgot your key,
I left one in a secret place like before.
Just in case you forgot to walk the dog and bring in the cat,
Don't worry darling, I've taken care of that.
Just in case you forgot to take the washing out of the machine,
It's done, I know how rushed you've been.
Just in case you forgot to eat lunch,
Don't worry sweetheart, I fixed an appetising bunch.
Just in case you've forgotten to call,
That's alright, hope you're having a ball.
Just in case I'm not there at the end of the line,
I pray you still have a good time.
Just in case I forgot to turn out the light,
It's not goodbye, only good night.
Just in case I leave without saying goodbye,
Don't shed a tear my darling, I didn't die.
Just in case you're reading this after I've gone,
Your life's still ahead of you, don't stop, move on.

There comes a time when we find it necessary
To realign our direction
So we can make a love connection
My eyes falling deep into yours
Oh how it makes my heart want to roar
As I draw you near
Making sure these feelings are sincere
You will never have to fear
This stargazed atmosphere
All of this because our time is near
Everything with you so crystal clear
Nothing about you in disguise
Everything with you just seems to fly
I see us never having to say goodbye
As our love dances across the sky
There comes a time to let it all unwind
So it’s possible to leave our past behind
Our future open unwilling to bind
There comes a time when it would appear
Our love will never peak or disappear
So we are able to redefine how this is a sign
Our love starts to show with the most magical flow
Now that we both have come to know
How powerful this love of ours will grow
That will reflect who we become
I'm so happy we are on such a positive run
It's only going to get better with time
We are like that perfect design
That makes your heart surrender to mine
I'm finally forgetting
How you took your tea
Which side your hair was parted
Where you hid your extra key
I simply can't remember
The way you used to smell
Was it musk or soap and water?
I used to know it well
I don't recall your favorite song
The ring tone on your phone
Was that dimple on your right cheek?
Vanilla cup or cone?
Did your skin taste sweet or salty?
Did your lips feel soft to kiss?
Would you run your fingers through my hair?
I remember none of this
I've finally turned a corner
Though it was hard to do
I'm finally forgetting
Because I'm getting over you
You're not my first thought anymore
You don't haunt me in my sleep
Don't miss you like I used to
The pain is not as deep
Yet still I feel some sadness
In a melancholy way
That my mind will make you disappear
Just simply fade away
But the only way to heal me
Is to erase your memory
Every single piece of you
Then I'll finally be free
