Alone

At break of day
I turned
To touch
Your side of bed
Forgetting
You had gone
Yesterday.

At breakfast
I had two cups
Prepared
For coffee
Closed eyes
Hoping
You will
Come
back.

Then rains came
Pouring down
The window pane
I watched
As tears
ran down
Like rain
Then whispered...
Your name.

The beach was empty
My feet felt the sand
Missing you
So much
Wanting to hold
Your hand
Silently searching
Meaning for
Life...
Alone.

Thank you Baby, it is really sad to lose someone so suddenly. It was what my friend experienced at the sudden death of her husband by car accident.

Easy to forget sometimes...tears like rain don't change the past.
