Death-A Look Of Love Poem by Mary Mc Creath

A look of love was what he gave to me
A look of love came from me in return
How could he now be gone to never more
Exchange with me that look I held so dear
A rage now came instead upon my soul
That God could take this joy away from me
I ached and longed to see him one more time
How dare HE take this gift away from me
I stop my grief now high and full of pain
And flay my fists upward to the sky
You give him back how dare you take him now
You give him back he is not yours but mine
That empty sky was deaf unto my plea
The emptiness descended now on me.
