With You Gone Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

WITH YOU GONE

With you gone time plays hard upon me
And I walk through a dark forest
Where misery bedecks the traveller
Forbidding reason to the mind.

Through the valley of shadows
Where demons lurk to bring me down
Wolves come hunting after me
Eyes blood red glowing in the dark.

I never thought parting would be such sorrow
With thoughts transfixed on your return
With each hour a mountain to be climbed
And a week an endless desert of despair.
