Gone too soon (free verse)

by deeplydesturbed   May 18, 2018


You were more than a friend,
We were closer than family
I held you to my heart
And never let you wander too far
Barely anyone knew you were there
I was terribly afraid
Afraid if they saw you
they’d see how great you are
And try to steal you from me
Selfish I know, but I wanted you as mine
Then life had a different plan
Whether fate wanted to punish me
Or it was just your time to go
You were stolen from this earth, far too young
Ironically I didnt want to lose you to others
yet the world took you from me anyways
Each day something reminds me of our time together
and the pain of having to say goodbye
All I can do is hope you are at peace
in a better place, watching over me.

    Morning Naomi,

    sorry for being absent from your posts. I will try and make this up...

    free verse sometimes allows the poet to ramble on in a confusing maze of words. You have penned a piece that is not confusing and conveys your grief at loosing someone so so close to you. I felt the unfairness of it all when they left what seemed exclusive. The part wear you admit to fearing the world seeing what you had seen all along spoke volumes and was brave to write down - I hope this helped.

    As a sad write, the emotion leaks of the page convincingly.

    Well done - I hope the time that has passed since writing this has helped to heal, even if just a little. ((hugs))

      Thank you Dear Mr Darcy.
      It was difficult for many reasons..
      One being i saw this person on Friday and on Monday I got the news they had passed..
      Out of the blue, nothing seemed amiss..
      It was, hard.. still is..

      I suppose I have a long way to go still. but thank you for your kind words. No need to apologies. I will admit I was less active for a little while and have a lot to catch up on, but am back now..
