A Perfect PairA Poem by Shannon Howard
I never thought I could love,
But you came along. Stealing my heart, Left me singing our song. The way our eyes would connect, As if we became one. Our relationship was perfect, We shined as bright as the sun. Your the only marine, I wish would hold me. The only man in the world, I could ever marry. While you were stationed in Japan, I could only think about you. I had absolutely no focus, I wish you only knew. The best gift I ever recieved, Each surprise visit home. My tears showed my joy, With you here, Im not alone. Each visit was to short, Forever wouldn't of been enough. Your the only one who knew me, The only one I could trust. Your last visit home, I will never forget. Our love was so strong, We reached unknown depths. Then a call one night, Made my worst fears real. You were on the verge of death, Beaten by thugs, almost killed. As much as I could, I stayed by your side. You finally woke up! Your eyes open wide! We talked of a future, A new house, our careers. We planned out our lives, A future together was clear. Tragedy struck once more, Another brain aneurysm. You seemed fine the day before, You were in good condition! This time, you never woke. How could you do that to me? I screamed for you to sit up, I cant take this grief! Your my future, my light; My anchor, my vision! What about our love? Our future? Do not put me in this position! Desperation takes over, I scream and I hit. Please, dont go without me. You cant do this, dont quit! Completely alone. Maybe this is a dream? Are you still in Japan? Ignoring me is just mean. This nightmare was real, To painful for thought. You left me behind. I am horribly distraught. I dont want love, From anyone but you. Im waiting to see you again, Sometime very soon. I will come to you, If you dont come to me. Almost two years has passed, And your still what I need. I cant go another year, Without you in my sight. I refuse to even try, Im ready for my white light. Soon we will be together, A pair of two once more. When I see your face again, I will no longer be torn. RIP Jordan D. © 2014 Shannon Howard |
