The day is always soon to come

Love is, but a word tossed around a preschooler

learns of it just like they learn words, verbs or

sounds i never thought i could hate someone as much as

i hate you i hate not because I'm mad, but because

I'm overwhelmed with the feelings of being sad

i sit awake and wonder why did fate make it so

my feelings are bundling up and I'm at the point of no

return i feel as though I'm about to explode i cant stop

but think of that awful night waking to the thought that

that something wasn't right

something was wrong i felt as though something was

gone i couldn't quite put my finger on it that was nothing

compared to what had dared to come upon me when i first

heard i was lost drifting without a word to express what i

felt as i fell there next to you panting for air my life flashed

between my eyes i swear every kiss we ever shared

every joke we ever told every time i would lay there

and just hold you wishing things would never change

but now your gone and nothing but sadness and anger

remains i lay here in bed and try to remember the last

things we said i pray and wish it was me and not you dead

i try and imagine you from head to toe. Oh how i still love

you so i cant believe you left me here alone left to roam

the world alone you weren't just a girl to me you were my

everything my eyes my sweet precious life the air i breath

you were all i need i sit and pant for air tears flowing

down my face and i don't care muttering under my breath

please don't let this be you my sand and i your deep blue

sea without you there isn't anything for me i want you

too know i loved you then and how i still love you so

( To all those people who have lost a loved one don't let them fade away love them more and more day by day )

    There is such a tangible, nostalgic atmosphere here and it's very vivid to the reader. You make this piece your own and truly write of this love with an ache deep inside your soul...the emotions are real and I can feel your frustration, anger, the times you want to scream, as well as the moments where miss them, picturing them beside you. it also has me wondering about this person's death, it seems like it was very sudden and I can't imagine how hard that would be to wake up one day and have that love gone. I'm very sorry for your loss. But I love and completely agree with what you wrote in your author's note.... we do have to move on with live but we can still love them more and more each day, thinking and remembering the times shared/learned with them.

    Honestly, and this is just a suggestion, you don't have to take it, the poem itself was a bit hard to follow at times naturally because there was barely any punctuation. I like how you spaced it out between each line, and I'm not saying you have to necessarily separate into stanzas, but I had to stop and start while reading because you didn't have even a pause when you were creating a new thought. So in that case, it was very hard to understand at first. It could be a lot smoother instead of each word running together.

    Anyway, keep writing!
