Why?

Why?

A Poem by Joseph Baker
"

A little poem i wrote... somewhat sad, again, don't ask where i got the idea.

"

We were so happy together,
Together till death do us part.
I loved you with all my strength,
my strength, my soul, my heart.

We used to say that when we kissed
God smiled from above.
That he himself had blessed us,
Blessed us and our love.

But that day,
it seems so black
It's burned in my mind
He called you home
home to him
yet no reason can I find.

We had everything before us
the whole world to conquer.
there was no limit to what we'd do
but that can't be any longer.

Why? I scream
Why? I ask
it echoes in an uncaring world
Why? I plead
Why? I despair
my pain will be eternal.

I know that with you I'll be
in only a few short years
But until then,
until I die,
my face is burned with tears.
When at last
I join you there
and you wipe them all away
In your arms, with you,
Forever I will Stay.

To build a love with someone only for that person who matches your soul to be taken...is heart breaking and painful to a new degree. This poem tore at my heart. Amazing write even though its so sad..

It made me want to cry. I can almost feel the pain.

This burns with pain and love. Magnificent work, I shall say. It has a sort of creepy feel to it. But not weird, kind of like you don't want to think about it too long or you feel as if you yourself will be burned with the pain. I hope that the cause of this poem has dwindled away..
