Where are you?

I need you

Where are you?

Your footprints lay in my memory

You touched me

You loved me

Then flew away with the midnight breeze

Oh where are you…

Where are you?

 

I feel your arms around my neck

I heard you whisper for a drink

“Pretty please?”

Your little smile

The dishes clattered in the sink

 

Look up again and now you’re gone

I’m fighting back the tears again

Your memories

They’re haunting me

Force open wounds, consuming pain

 

I need you

Where are you?

Your footprints lay in my memory

You touched me

You loved me

Then flew away with the midnight breeze

Oh where are you…

Where are you?

 

Although I know you’ve gone away

I feel your presence in the air

I hear your voice

I feel your warmth

But when I look you’re never there

 

You’re sleeping now, you won’t wake up

And left me here, so lost without you

Rivers of tears

Your vivid dreams

And I don’t want to live without you

 

I need you

Where are you?

Your footprints lay in my memory

You touched me

You loved me

Then flew away with the midnight breeze

Oh where are you…

Where are you?

You poured your heart out. I agree with Coyote.

Sad and beautiful. This read like a song. Seth will live on your poetry. It's lovely! Wonderful work.

A very sad poem. Some lost will stay with us forever. Your son Seth need to be remember. Few people and children will touch us and love us with all their heart. A poem with questions that have no answers.
