Forever, beyond death...

"Forever, beyond death..."

I can still taste his cigarette on my mouth,

and smell the liquor on his breath.

In a whisper I hear his promise,

"I'll love you forever, beyond death."

Early morning comes,

I imagine his hand tracing across my skin.

The sound of his laughter cuts through me,

as it's carried in the wind.

On his desk his notebooks lay open,

next to a picture of him and me, his wife.

Another day I fall to my knees and weep, 

in the room where he took his life.

So deeply and emotionally stated with excellent rhyming words and beautiful thoughts.... Missing someone is so much painful. Even I have experienced it. When very night my pillow used to get wet with tears, when I kept my tears all inside being sad and silent, when I became almost crazy and thought whether it was fair.... life is really unfair, not only with u but also with me.... u r nt alone... Thanks for the poem and also for the memories of recent months....

Oh my god...it's so close a write to me. Except the things in first stanza, I can relate to all of it. This poem touched me very deep. The feeling of loneliness, the feeling of being left behind, missing him, I felt each and every word of it. Thank you so much for writing it. Thank you.
