From the Heart; To a Lost Love

A Letter left at a tombstone in a grave yard.

My love,

It's hard to comprehend
where the years have gone.
Two days after your body died,
I could hardly stand the thought
that it had been so long since
we had spoken with each other.

Now I hear you in my head,
but lately not as often.
I miss that and I miss you.
I can only hope that my heart
and mind remain transparent to you.

There is nothing I won't share,
either in my pride or shame
happiness or sorrow.

We always were and are a team.
This thing we are doing now
Is the hardest thing we have attempted.

We will succeed in the end.
I love you with all my heart, Sweetheart.

That says it all. It touches on many things I have felt when loved ones die, and for me, also, one of them was a spouse. It's a lovely letter you left at the tombstone, and I use the word "lovely" on purpose, because of all the love in it. Your wish that your heart and thougts remain "transparent" is a wonderful image; to me it means 'spirit,' everlasting. I'm glad, as your bio says, you are returning to writing. I hope you keep it up!

In reading your poem, your expressed many of the same thoughts that my mom did, after my dad's death. Your eloquence is displayed in the passion and sorrow of your late husband. Welcome to the Writer's Cafe. Hope to read more of your work here.
