My Lost Love Poem by Lesa MRK

Long ago we were together,
We shared a deep love,
Beautiful moments of passion,
That sweet memories remain of.

Yesterday I was saddened,
Lost in the bitter pain,
Of knowing I must be alone,
For only your memory remains.

I spent each moment crying,
For everything reminded me of you,
The sunshine so like your smile,
The sky so like your eyes of blue.

The memories were no longer enough,
To keep the tears at bay,
I realized you would never be back...
You were so very far away.

Never before had I felt so much alone;
I longed for you by my side,
To share all we had before,
And hold me in the night...

But sundown came unbidden,
As star twinkled in the sky,
While the moon shone brightly,
I hung my head to cry.

I no longer could remember,
Why I felt so sad inside,
I retreated to my bedroom,
And crawled beneath the covers to hide.

In the darkness of the night,
I finally ceased to weep,
I fell into a restless slumber,
A tortured, dreamy sleep.

Suddenly, I awakened,
For I heard a noise unknown-
The door being slowly opened,
With a soft, yet whining moan.

Somehow I was not frightened,
For I sensed your presence near,
And I knew if you were beside me,
I'd have nothing to fear.

Through the moonlight, I watched you,
As you crept across the room,
Your shadow translucent,
Brightening up the gloom.

At first I thought I was dreaming,
How could it truly be you?
I only gazed at you in wonder,
Not knowing what to do.

You knelt down at my bedside,
Then kissed me upon my cheek.
Softly you began to whisper,
Your voice so gentle and weak.

You told me that you missed me,
That it hurt to see me sad,
That my happiness was precious,
For you wished to see me glad...

With those wise words you stood,
And walked quietly across the floor.
You turned to look back once again,
And then silently closed the door.
