A Face To Remember Poem by Lucifera Santez

A Face To Remember

Rating: 4.5


Smile with me,
Don’t shed a tear,
My pain is enough,
Your agony,
I can’t bear.
It is I, who is going away,
Dying isn’t fascinating,
With you by my side,
I can say.
Please, please let me die alone,
So that I can at least
Shriek with pain and moan.
When you sit by my side,
I forget my pain,
I just hang in dark abyss
Of moss green eyes, your eyes.
To look at you is unbearable,
‘Cause it’s I who is deserting you.
I am not doing it by will
It’s my fate’s turn, they say
You go to church to avert it
And in there you cry and
Pray, pray, pray.
The world says
I am leaving you a legacy,
What they don’t see
Is you suffer,
Suffer at the thought that I am dying
I want to tell you,
Don’t fret
I will always need you
Whether I live or die.
I will be watching,
I will be waiting,
Just to see you are all right,
I promise you this,
Either in life or in death….

Loss in our world is the greatest emotion. Your depiction here is quite telling of your name, Lucifera, bringer of the light. Very well written, but sadly today's top poems are all about grief. I'm afraid this Tuesday is starting off a little sadly... But that is emotion too. Well done Poet

This Tuesday is really Wednesday, John, at least here in the U.S.A. But you are right that this poem is very well done.
