Too Much To Ask

by Cindy   Aug 26, 2008


Too Much To Ask

Days seem like eternity

Since you've gone away

Overtaken with emptiness

Need to fill this void someway

The gentle touch of a hand

Warmth from another's embrace

Words of tenderness whispered

Look of love on a face

I've sat for years all alone

With memories by my side

Longing to be loved once more

Instead closing doors to hide

Feelings of guilt overtake

This broken heart and soul

Thoughts of someone cross my mind

Yet it's you I have extolled

Is This too much to ask

Feeling hands touch once more

Kisses upon my lips

Filling an empty heart like before

    I have read this many times and am moved more each time I finish reading. Not only can this apply to a lover or husband, that has passed away, but applies to a love that has been lost from a marriage and the mate who finds someone to give those feelings back to them. I know all to well. Thanks for writing this.

    Wow that was breathtaking poetic art. It had me in tears. I can really feel your sadness and I'm sorry for that. Great poem... your a great writer. I'm sorry that it comes from such a great void in your hear though.
