How Can I Poem by Marites C. Cayetano

How can I
watch the sunrise
when my heart is in deep sorrow
of not seeing you

How can I
listen to the songs of the birds
when my ears are yearning
to hear your voice

How can I
smell the fragrance of the flowers
when I long
for yours

Tell me
how can I go on living
when you've taken away
the whole meaning of my life
and that is to be with you
seeing your happy smile
hearing your sweet voice
with your fragrance
lingering around.
