For I have lost the one I love

What am I to do?

For I have lost the one I love.

What am I to think?

For it is my fault

How am I to live?

Without his simple touch.

How am I to breath?

Without him standing next to me.

What am I to do?

For I have lost the one I love.

The concept was this simple but really thought provoking thing. I applaud

I ask myself the same questions all of the time. Keep fighting the fight. Thanks for sharing.

Isn't it bitter sweat, the medicine, that helps us create such beauty. Why must we hurt, to bring out the feelings that we should so relish. When things are good, we take them for granted, and when we hurt we truly appreciate that which we had neglected.

Learn to love again, it's worth it.
Appreciate and give thanks for that which is so freely given that we believe it may be ours, and yet shakes us to our core when it is taken away.
We can not hold love in out hands like a fist, we must hold it with an open palm.

"when it's good, it's so, so good, and when it's gone its gone."

Simple yet thought provoking. Sometimes seperation from a person seems unimaginable. We can't even cry for the loss cause he was the one to provide you a shoulder. Very nice write. Thanks for sharing.

Sad, and heart breaking. Wonderful poem

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Indeed these are questions we all must face in the end, painful and sure, well done, good read.

[Fernando Dardón]

Wow,great! I like how this piece can be interpreted in many ways.
I guess we can‛t blame ourselves when we loose someone we love, neither if it was taken by death or a break up.
When we lose somebody ( a lover in this case), the simplest things are the ones we miss the most,such as the seduction behind a touch, a breathless kiss, or a warm body wrapping ourselves with its arms.
What am I to do? We ask ourselves. Well, the answer is quite simple, nevertheless not easy: keep going on...

Great poem!!! :D

I like it, it felt deep and very true (And it works in either scenario, for when the one you love leaves, or for when the one you love dies.) I like how simplistic it is and yet at the same time just how much emotion it conveys. Very deep, And Deeply felt! :)

Deeply felt and passionate poem of loss. You write your emotions in vivid and powerful verse.

[Scott Metro]

Always hard on the heart and mind.
Loss is such a struggle..

Be healed and love again.
