I Am The Stem

Saying goodbye

 

You are the dream that captured my sleep.

You are the light the sun could never be.

You are the beauty no mask could hide.

 

Now as I say goodbye

Just know…

 

This hole in my heart

Will be a permanent space

Cause without you

Love is the stem

Without a rose.

Ahhhhhh how beautiful RRC! There's an elegance in learning how to say goodbye and you've shared it beautifully in words. If someone can leave that kind of stamp on your heart they're the ones we remember...because they had relevance in our today. Lovely words and wonderful write!

Very good, love lost always a moving topic. This had a natural flow and the emptiness of the heart is mirrored in the stem without a rose, beautiful.

There are times, which we come across a poem that speaks volumes in elequence, like this poem does, to my heart. Of the pain associated with the lost of love and feeling of emptiness, which is left behind. Thank you for sharing this very emotional poem, with us, Dale.

This was so beautiful and heartbreaking... that emptiness of separation that can never be filled... Truly stopped me and made me sit and ponder those around me.

A sad and beautiful poem of a goodbye. When we are two and become one again. It leave a empty place that need to be filled. A strong poem. I like the complete poem. I like the last lines. A excellent poem.
