Irreplaceable You

You’ll never know how much I miss your smile.

Each morning I wake alone feeling the impression

left on your side of the bed, empty vacant and

irreplaceable.

 

You were the greatest love, an inspirational elegy

in which my life was composed. I miss the elation

you’ve brought to me in my times of despair, so

affectionately warm and giving.

 

You were my heartbeat my pulse my reason for

being, making me the man I thought I’d never be.

Your absence pains me, pierces me devours me,

with each passing day. I am truly lost hopeless

feebly aware that you’re gone.

 

You’ve taught me many a lesson, how to be kind

yet strong to laugh and be self-effacing, to cry

when it hurts. I’m no longer strong and the hurt

is unbearable it’s intolerable unimaginable.

 

As days become months and months become

years, I faithfully visit your grave with unrelenting

tears. Damn you cancer!

This is a powerful poem the show how hard it is to loose someone especially the love of your life. cancer is a hard and terrible disease and it destroys many lives and taking many more. this poem is a real tribute to the person you held so dear.

Thankyou all so much for your kind comments.
(This was actually written for a friend of mine
who had lost his wife to cancer many years ago.)

Well damn, I didnt see that coming. Great write. It tells men it's okay to show feeling sometime, to show some kind of emotion. It's the only way to know we are human. Again great job.

I felt the sadness in these words before I got to the ending.
In death we sometimes want to be greedy and keep our loved
ones, but I know we have to learn to let them go, and it
doesn't come easily, like a life lesson. Beautifully written:)
