My Dear

My darling

My love

How I wish you were here

To enjoy the spirit

Of all the Holiday cheer,

It's just not

The same without you

By my side

I feel lonely

Empty inside,

I would give anything

To hold you

Not only on these days

But every day,

Oh how I wish

You were here for New Year's Eve

So that we could share

That New Year's magical

Embrace and kiss,

But even though you

Are there and I am here

Does not mean we can't 

Start anew.

A bittersweet taste of a lonely heart.

'Not only on these days
But every day'

Loss, no matter how it comes about leaves us with that piece of ourselves missing, especially around the holidays. Well done Tarry, hope you have a wonderful New Year in spite of it all.

[Tarry Franck]

Can we start new? I think it is possible. Maybe only theory, but one worth believing in.
A great poem of open, hopeful, searching.

Hope is the last emotion. Good to try to re-birth love. Very hard to do. Hard to forget the bad times. I like the positive hope in the excellent poem.

Hope is and that's all I'm holding on to right now. I do know it's hard to do due to forgetting the bad times. But I'm willing to do what it takes. Thanks for the advice and the kind review.
