Until I Am Gone Like You've Gone Away To The Grave:

A Memorial Lament

Until I am gone like you have now gone away to the grave,

I will cry, wishing to die each and of every single day,

not because I wish to die, for a suicidal is not I,

but because life is not worth the living without -- you,

that true love and light of my life, that I never realized

was even on, burning ever so brightly, in the darkest hours,

shining ever so wonderfully, in illuminating the path of my life,

until that day that you died -- until that moment you were gone,

and I was left to consider all my wrongs, all I had wasted,

and all I had lost, to never be held in my arms -- ever again!

I can feel the grief in this write. A loss that hasn’t softened with time. Sometimes we don’t realize what we’ve got till it’s gone. A most moving lament Marvin to your late wife. Sorry for your loss.

Thank you for your kind words of understanding, Chris

This one is heavy with grief. It also points out a truth for all of us: You never knew how much you valued someone until they are lost to you. My condolences.

Thank you for reading, John, and for your very sound words of wisdom that, perhaps, someone else, someone who has yet to experience the hard learning of this lesson, may hopefully learn before it reaches that state of reality within which I now find myself living ...
