The Feeling of Loss Drags On

She left me alone and left me crazed.

I foolishly thought I wouldn’t be dazed.

But the haughty fall from such great heights,

And I’ll never get another kiss goodnight.

She’s an addiction now that she’s always gone.

I stay up at night and brood way past dawn.

I need to kick the habit that kicked me to the curb.

It’s been a year and I feel absurd.

aah the pain never leaves , ye just learn to live with it , i know the feeling so very well . tis a grand job ye have done and i know so many of us will nod in appreciation as we read your poem .
