A Time Machine Of Memories

A wife cannot get over loosing her husband.

 

This house is like a time machine of memories

I close my eyes and you're always around

Even though you're gone

It's like deja vu everyday

Because your presence is always felt

 

You had no choice but to leave

I lay no blame

It was not up to me or you

It was the way it had to be

 

My heart travels in time spent with you

Not wanting to let you go

My eyes closed I feel the warmth of your lips

Brisance of adrenaline sends me futher in time

 

Each memory I encounter takes a hold on me

Baby I wish you could still be here

My love will never fade

I will always be true to you

But you had to go

It Wasn't up to me or you

 

Anger and pain is the master of manipulation

You being gone hurts everyday

Hypothetically my mind knows you're gone

But my heart tells me other wise

I'm trapped in this time zone of memories

When you were alive and well

 

This house is like a time machine

I can travel back in time

You're never far away

Baby I'm in a time zone of memories

Don't ever fade away

There's nothing more quiescent and disheartening then the loss of
a significant other. You've become half of what was once a whole.
Beautifully done Kathy....

[Wolf's Dark Song]

This is very sad and powerfully poignant. Memories can bring great peace or bitter pain. I like the time machine idea you used for this. Very unique and clever!

[An owl on the moon]

This made me think of my father shortly after my mum passed away... he actually was eager to move because those memories were too painful.. he loved her so... Your words show the powerful insights of memory and more to strike the emotions..

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This is a real tear jerker.
Broke my heart.

How it is for many in their loss... always the presence oft the loved one

[Poetic Beauty]

This is so true. A home can be a vessel in which memories remain forever and the presences of a person can be felt inside the soul long after they are gone. It can be a bittersweet emotional ride and I know after my grandma passed away for the first year it felt like she had simply went on a long vacation. This is emotional and I love the use of time machine in this piece

[Star Wolf]

I love this. Its very bittersweet but it shows how strong love can be...it lives on in memories. Awesome write!

[WindSong]

Your heart is broken and yearning for the one you love. Only time will heal your wound. Always keep your precious memories close to your heart and don't ever let them go. Great poem!

So sad...I can feel the pain
So tender and sweet is her love
She almost sounds addicted to her
Memories of him
I feel this way sometimes when
I think of my ex husband
I'd have to leave the house too
One of your finest!

An explosion of adrenaline, wonderful usage.

A very beautiful poem of a lasting love, that even bridges death....:0)
