Sitting by the waters edge
I now stare at a reflection
of a broken man.
A heart forever filled
with my love for you.
I cry lonesome tears
with a mind battered
and bruised by losing you.
The sounds of my grief
echoes through my heart
as I try so desperately
to step away from the past.
But the songs of nature
will always remind me
of the love I thought
would always last.
Closing my eyes
I cry inside, as my heart
silently dies.
Every day has become
so hard to bare, as I
search inside
for a reason to smile.
Only yesterday, it feels
that I lost you.
As this pain still feels
the same.
Crying into my broken reflection
I hear my heart call out your name.

Boy, I know this feeling all to well, Jon, and have been there myself more times than I care to mention. This melancholy poem is tremendously well written and expressed. It is a very moving write and one which nearly all of us can relate to very well, having had similar experiences in life and love ourselves. Carl.
very touchy reflection my friend Jon! I would say its an amazing song of heart! 10+
Dang! Your poor heart silently dying. You did some sad, painful writing. Dude! Do you know how clearly you captured pain and hurt? I want to say very nice, but it's full of pain and how nice is that? I'll just say very well written. You've organized this in a very relatable way. Deborah Cromer
