As We Part

A poem about separation

 

As We Part

Whisper my name to me as you leave

 Your voice is all I wish to remember as I grieve

Look into my eyes, show me your love

All I wish to remember as your spirit floats above

You were my world

My pearl

My happiness swirl

Remember me after you depart

Forever you’ll have my heart

Love me as we part

Author's Note

I was thinking of my loved one when I wrote this poem, my Grandmother.
I wasn't with her when she died, but she meant the world to me.
I miss her everyday. I can feel her with me sometimes.
I felt her spirit brush past me the hour she died, not knowing of her death.

A sad and sweet poem. I know the feeling. Though I was near my grandfather when he passed, I wasn't in the room. I couldn't bring myself to be there for him because of how it made me feel. Very selfish of me, but not an image I needed of him.

Love me as we part is a grand statement. This says goodbye with I love you. It is a clear poem written about those moments that we all have to go through at some point. It is hard to say goodbye to a loved one.
