Melody so Sweet

Melody so Sweet

A Poem by Amy Whetzell
"

Its about loss

"

~

I cannot feel you, I cannot see you, I cannot even recall your scent.

~

When its dark and quiet and no one's around,

I lay down on my pillow and feel your arms on me wrapped around

~

I feel so safe in your arms.

I open my eyes and you're gone.

~

I no longer feel your arms holding me tightly,

nor can I feel your fingers intertwined with mine ever so nicely.

~

I listen for your whispers but only silence fills the air.

Only I can wipe the tears away now, for you're so far away.

~

I wrote a song for you which you can never hear

I never got the right tune and now you're nowhere near

~

'Twas a melody so sweet for it was created in love

I thought I had time to finish And I knew I'd never give up

~

I wasn't forewarned of your departure I didn't know you'd leave too soon

I thought I'd have so many years so many more moments with you

~

How do I finish your song, simply sift through the memories?

Without you at any close distance my soul cries, for you've drifted too far away from me

~

Why did you give out so soon? Why did you have to die?

How can I now give you your song? I never even got the chance to say goodbye.

~

With every passing day, your memory weakens, and my longing for you grows.

~
