Heart Left At Your Headstone Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Shining down upon an empty life, threads now broken,
lying lifeless on the dirt-hard ground looking up,
satisfied no more with living.

Love having been lost, never to be found again, a
treasure chest of memories gathering dust, not want-
ing to relive their bittersweet times again.

Walking now into the nothingness of a new beginning
without you my love, life having died and been put
to rest.

Standing at the gravesite, hands folded, prayers stuck
to my lips unable to be said, heart heard breaking in
the morning light, tears being spilt upon the ground.

Our last kiss being remembered with the desire and
passion we once had when together, now I walk away from
your headstone.

Head bowed, heart left there with you forever, never to
be picked up and put back within my being again for you
are not here to bring it back alive, my dear.
