Seperation Poem by Mary Rodriguez

I lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling
Wishing I could shake this awful feeling
My mind races with the thoughts in my head
Does anyone care if I'm alive or I'm dead?
I once felt alive like I could touch the stars
Now it's like I am a passenger in a slow moving car
The happiness in my heart has fizzled out
I just feel like I want to scream and shout
Somehow I get through each day
Thinking of you every step of the way
I try not to despair
A life with you is what I'd love to share
We've had these set backs and trials before
Each time it hurts us both to our core
My love for you is not in the past
It's something that will always last
How many times do I have to say?
My love for you is something that grows stronger each day
Together, we can go far
I love you just the way you are
I'll protect you and care for you the best I can
I'll never forget the moment our love began
A place in your life is where I want to be
You're the best thing that's ever happened to me
