On the Other Side

A Poem by Angelica H

Searching for someone who isn't there
The pain grows and the memories haunt
It's left me every day and night in such despair
Can't I just have back the one thing that I want?

Pictures framed on the wall
How I remember that smile
When you left, I took such a great fall
Acceptance? I'm sure that will take a while

Videos stashed away
For I am too weak to see when you were alive
I have no strength, for strength I pray
Because now, without the greatest man in my life, I am deprived

Anger swims through my veins
Tears fall from my eyes
Day to day I feel multiple types of pain
For you are never coming back & this I realize

I think of things you told me in the past
Your voice still remains in my head
I am always reminded that your love for me was so vast
By memories of your actions and the things you said

We will meet again
But as long as I'm on Earth, I will feel the loss
I don't know when
But some day, on that other side where you are, I will cross
