Just a Little...

As the years go by
I can't help but cry
No matter how hard I try

I hope you know
I loved you so
Why did you have to go

I wish you were here
to take away my fear
and wipe away my tears.

[Robert Haigh]

A straightforward bitter-sweet love poem, straight from the heart! Love hurts sometimes, and it can take an age to get over it.

You are so right Robert. Thank you!

Greetings fellow Californian, and from Nor Cal as well. I guess that's where most of us poets living here seem to reside. You capture sadness well in this piece. The emotions in this poem and find resonance in the readers heart. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

Thank you Carlos for reading this! I appreciate it.

[Chris Shaw]

Three little stanzas tell this reader that this loss lingers. It must have been someone very significant in your life Donna for the impact to last years. A beautiful poem.

Some loss hits us far harder than others and quite unexpectedly too. I mourned and miss mum but cannot come to terms with the death of my best mates wife who was of a similar age.
Good morning Donna
