Just a Little...

As the years go by
I can't help but cry
No matter how hard I try

I hope you know
I loved you so
Why did you have to go

I wish you were here
to take away my fear
and wipe away my tears.

A very sad poem written dear Donna. I do understand. I am the oldest person left and all my mentors/teachers are gone. I do miss their voices and their faces. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

That was sad but very nicely expressed and crafted. I could feel this poem.

[Donna]

I appreciate that! Thank you!

I can’t imagine dealing with pain of such magnitude. That you can share with words those feelings is a positive.

The memory of one who is special to us never really goes away, even though with time it may become a little less painful.
I lost a son at age 16 so very many years ago now, but the love and memory of him shall never leave me!! His loss, and that of so many other loved ones has encouraged me to write many poems of loss, I've even have done a grief journal, (Teardrops of the Heart) so I try to gift just a small bit of comfort to others who feel the pain of the death of a loved one!!
Please accept a hug from me with hope it brings you comfort!!!

Sorry for your loss of this person
It’s always their loss when they leave us
That’s the way to think
Nice poem got the point across

[Donna]

I'm always happy to receive a review from you! Thank you Julie!

Good morning Donna,
First read of yours and I found it so very sad.
Love can be such a hurtful thing...but then again ahhh so very wonderful.
Memories can be so painful... when it comes to love...
I recently posted a poem called Guardian of Memories that you might like...and many of my poems and Sonnets are about love...

You are most welcome Donna...

It’s surprising how love lost long ago can still cause our hearts to ache, even if we’ve moved on. Nicely expressed!

[Donna]

That is very true. Thank you so much Richard.

Forgot to mention that we are also from California... Santa Monica ...then, Santa Barbara... and recently loved full time to Spain!

[Donna]

That sounds great. I am in San Jose, California.

So simply worded, yet so profound. Evidence that we don’t have to write in an over-complicated way to express our true feelings.

[Donna]

Thank you for reading this. It's nice to see you again!

[Robert Haigh]

A straightforward bitter-sweet love poem, straight from the heart! Love hurts sometimes, and it can take an age to get over it.

[Donna]

You are so right Robert. Thank you!
