THE DAY YOU LEFT

For the Brave

The day you left

You gave me only truthful words

It warmed my yearning heart

Keeping me safely in love

I never questioned its truth

 

You gave me your beautiful body

I held it so close to mine

Always a divine embrace

I never questioned your touch

 

You gave me your valuable time

I shared it eagerly with you

Those precious moments together

I never questioned its value

 

You gave me your priceless life

When you bravely saved mine

Reliving the time you went away

Now I constantly question that day

Author's Note

I poem to fill those moments lived by someone.

This is truly innocent and heartfelt in its its nature... Tell moments we spend with our loved ones will always stay in our hearts... Their love and care and precious moments will never ever fade away from our mind... This is truly a thought provoking emotional write El which I can very much relate to... Very well done...

Sincerely

Oh, how many times have I done this exact thing? Going thru an entire relationship, be it family, friends, or lovers, always seeing the best in the person, the best in the situation, but then being totally blindsided by the end which comes as a harsh slap of reality. You've conveyed the innocence & trusting nature of the narrator in spades (very clearly). You've also nailed that sensation we end up with, questioning how we didn't see that coming, reliving the harsh breakup in our minds like self-torture.

Wow I am so blessed to have you review my work. Thank you for your kind words. Hugs El

When happy sometimes we are too blinded by it to question intentions, or if anything else could be going on. You have managed to portray the pain beautifully, rather than attacking the past with anger, which I admire. I really enjoyed this :)

[andrew mitchell]

A sad poem of cherished times gone by, only to turn leaving one questioning on why with a tinge of regret and sorrow. Terrible mind racking moments when one is left wondering.

[Elmarie]

Yup I just read a book called Brave by an australian journalist depicting Hero's and the their deeds. The aftermath and how most of their lives fall apart. I wrote this poem before I read the book but it was so fitting. Thank you for stopping by Mr. Mitchell :)

Blessings
