9 years ago this coming friday marks the hateful murder of the greatest love I've ever known...her ex decided he really didn't want her with another man...so he killed her 2 days before we were to spend the rest of our lives together...
I wrote this and several other poems in an effort to cope with the loss...
I've since rededicated this particular poem to the survivors and families of victims of the murderous rampage at V Tech just over a year ago...
Are You The One?
Are you the one that's left behind
To search every face in hopes to find
That true love that is now so elusive?
For the one that's gone and on you live?
Every smell, every sight constantly reminding
You of the love so bright, so blinding?
Are you the one that time now tortures?
Nights so long--memory scorches...
Are you the one whose world's torn apart?
Wonder now why you even have a heart?
Are you the one for their life given?
Wish you could just slip into oblivion?
Are you the one that squeezes their pillow?
Knees get weak and sway like willow
At the thought of the loss, the dreams escaped?
Are you the one that longs for one one last taste
Of the intoxicating gaze of your lost love?
Rest only comes knowing that from above
You're being held in your love's embrace.
