Farewell

Loss

In secret we met, alone I grieve.

That my heart could no longer be there to receive.

The love that we had, the good times that we shared,

What was taken from us, I can no longer bare.

No longer will I see you, no longer is there a "we,"

Our time together can no longer be.

Your brief candle has been blown,

Yesterdays lighted way to dusty death,

And no longer can I breathe,

Their is no air for breath.

My mind is gone,

A whirlwind of pain,

A hole were my heart was,

My thoughts full of disdain.

When we meet again,

After long years,

I will greet you,

In silence and in tears.

Author's Note

This is too simplistic for my tastes, but ehhhh... As you may have noticed, I have similar lines to two different poem/quotes. Shakespeare's Macbeth and Lord Byron's When We Two Parted.

You use a mix of magic and metaphor to make this music come to life... There was sadness moving line by line for me, as I have said farewell once too often. Those last few lines struck in deep.

"If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die."
~Duke Orsino
Twelfth Night Act 1, scene 1, 1–3.

I have that memorized. Its my favorite part. I enjoy this poem. It gives some insight. My cat just died. I'm not ready to say good-bye. But I got to. Right? Very nice work. :D
