My Heart Goes with You

My Heart Goes with You

A Poem by Sharon Miller Bolander

 

   
 

 

 
My Heart Goes with You

 



Though I understand, 
it doesn't feel right. 
Conspiracies thrive 
to hasten this night.
Permission's not granted 
to alter our plight.

Something goes missing 
when I'm not with you.
Keys to life's pleasures 
tower high from view.
There's nowhere to go 
and nothing to do.

The sands through the hourglass, 
too quickly, sped.
Courage can't throttle 
the thoughts in my head
on long, lonely nights 
in our cold, empty bed.

Going brings sadness 
and longing builds fear.
As uneasy chasms 
of feelings draw near,
I worry and wonder 
how safe you'll be, dear.

The evening has come---
farewell kiss, sad adieu.
You leave---
but a piece of my heart goes with you.

You have such a beautiful way about your writing. Each word a jewel to make a total masterpiece to behold. Emotions are so very well displayed, I feel the love in each line. Your last stanza lays out specifically how strong this love is and and the wanting to be near this person always. Your writing is a gorgeous treasure!

Bravo Sharon! This was absolutely top class my friend! I had to search for the
10 words...truly. How you managed to so seamlessly interweave them into
this is so amazing.

So very beautiful in every respect and a treasure indeed!

Well done poetess!

Such a sad, lonely, longing write Sharon. Saturated with tears and fear of the future.
A very sad farewell indeed. My heart was touched by the pain herein. Wonderful, beautiful but so sad.
