My Dear One Poem by Alvin Mingle

My Dear One



My confidant, my keeper, my friend

How cruel can death be?

Why have you taken him away from me so soon?

When we met, you promised to be with me forever.

You made me laugh, you made me smile,

You touched my heart like no one could

When you asked whether I could sleep alone when the time came,

I answered flippantly, not knowing it would come so soon.

Where are you my love? Where are you my love?

This pain is too much to bear.

My Dear One,

I promise to keep your love in my heart forever

I promise to keep your faith

I promise to be the person you wanted me to be

Till we meet again

Adieu.

Death can leave us feeling so alone and bereft. A nice outpouring of emotion written here. Thank goodness we are blessed with good memories.
