Short Left Too Soon Poems

The mist rolls in
I want to sin
Oh crescent moon
You left too soon 
My heart is sore  
Yet yearns for more...

Elliot Smith left too soon.
Given the gift of music.
A rare recording talent.
Needle in the hay.

I have lost my love moon,
She was mine but left too soon,
Your light once shined on our love,
Now only darkness from above.

Oh moon why did she go?
She loved me you know,
Can you tell me why?
You see all from the sky.

Moon will you help me pray?
That she will return some day,
Let your romantic love light shine,
On this lost love of mine....

I love you when you're lucid
(or when your mind is going)
and even when the whiskers
of your confidence are blowing
I love it when your tannins 
filled with acid burn my mouth
and even when you stop short
asking what I'm all about.
I love it when your voice
all crackling, sunlit, fills the room
I love you even though I'm mourning
and you left too soon......

You think you know me—
a river that runs deep.
I am an ocean, you fool,
a sailor’s retreat.

You think you know me;
I’ll let you in on this:
you only know an iota;
I am pure bliss.

You think you know me
by the light of the moon;
we needed more time—
you left too soon.

You think you know me;
I laugh; you don’t.
Our fun was but a second;
you bailed; now run....

Silence sings to starless souls
A melancholy tune
One that plays on endlessly
For those who've left too soon

Their danse macabre remains unseen
By those with mortal eyes
Though we will learn the steps one day
And twirl 'neath unlit skies

Sway with abandon, lift your feet
Whenever the churchbell tolls
You soon will move to the melody sweet
Silence sings to starless souls...

He was such a beautiful soul
That left too soon for me
His laughter always came through
He reminded me of Santa because
He always jiggles when he laughs
And he would give you his last dollar
He was also a wiseman
His advice was spot on
He was in the world at
A very young age so, he
Experienced a lot that's why
He had a cool nature and was a
Vert fine dresser
He loved his family so much
That when God called him home
He stayed six weeks over...

You left too soon,
You where selfish leaving me behind,
I begged you to take me with you,
But you didn’t.
You left me heat to make all my decisions on my own.

Do you know how much I miss you?
Do you know how much I cry every time I sleep and wake?
I won’t see you ever again!!!!! 
I won’t ever see my queen waking up,
My queen smiling...
I will be with you soon my queen ... don’t be scared.
I need to be with you.
I love you. I love you. I love you....

What can I give when I am broke 
To he whose words inspired?
For the little ember that he stoked 
I’d give him all my fire 

What can I give when I am poor
To he who set me free?
For each and every open door 
I’d give an endless sea

What can I give when I have nil
To he who left too soon?
For knowing that he’s with me still
I’d give the very moon

What can I give of any worth
To he who gave me love?
For all the riches on this earth
Could never be enough....
