The Pain Within

by Jenni Marie   Apr 11, 2007


Staring out to sea
Tears upon my cheeks
How long since you went away
Is it only a few weeks?

Gentle breeze blowing my hair
Clothes swaying from side to side
Don't want to deal with this pain
Just want to run away and hide.

Questions run through my head
Why where you taken from me?
Each day tears fill my eyes
I'm finding it hard to see.

Wind whips my skin cruelly
Causing goosebumps along my arms
I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise
About keeping you safe from harm.

Glaring up at the cloudless sky
Wondering if you're watching from above
How could fate be so cruel and twisted
To take away my one true love?

Diving into the water
But I never learned to swim
Hoping that the ocean
Will take away this pain within.

Feeling my heart start to slow
As oxygen leaves my brain
Knowing only one thing for certain
Without you nothing will ever be the same.

Starting to feel Death close by
Pulling me into his embrace
Hoping that once he takes me
Again, I'll finally see your face.

    I was all ready for one of your mushy love poems but I read this. Even though it was a bit sad, it was beautifully written.
    Great poem.

    The pains of losing someone you love is the most excruciating experience that you can survive.

    The despair and sorrow are conveyed tactfully and with passion. Portraying such emotion to the reader can be rather difficult. You did wonderful.
