Broken hearted

by Brenda   Dec 28, 2016


If I were
to die
of a broken heart,
it only means
you have gone before me...
-
For the very thought
of spending even
one day,
without you,
is truly unthinkable...
-
My day starts,
with you.
My nights end,
next to you.
Our sleeping breaths
in unison.
Much like it has been
since we first met...
-
You have always joked,
me, being in your head.
But it's you,
that's in my heart,
always and forever...

    Such a beautiful, heartfelt poem!
    Brenda, how simply you wrote it, yet so meaningful.
    I can't even decide which stanza is better or which part is more beautiful, but for one thing I am sure that this poem will be in my heart-
    always and forever.

      L, thank you so much! This man is my heart and soul. He truly makes my heart sing. I never thought I would have this ever in my life.

    A touching tribute to a love that has no doubt change your life. I have written a poem on this topic before, but coming from someone whom I know to be truly, madly, deeply in love with their significant other (whereas I haven't one myself) brings its meaning to an ethereal level. It is wise to prepare, but even wiser to acknowledge that one day you could be, in this sense, broken hearted ... anyone can, with anyone they love. It makes each day waking up next to someone that much more special.

    I admire your love, and can only hope the cure to death is found so you never experience this heartbreak.

    Beautiful write. Much love,

    Brenda,

    I can certainly relate to this piece of writing. I have always said to my wife - as selfish as it sounds - I hope I go before she does! I know for a fact that she is strong enough to pick herself up and carry on and the kids would look after her. But me? If I were left alone, I would simply fall to pieces!
    Cowardly, I know, but there you have it, lol

    A powerful write,

    Ben

      Ben, thank you so much! I totally understand where you are at with all that. I don't think it's cowardly, losing your mate is unbearable , especially since you two have been together so long.
