Cause
==================
I didn’t breath when you spoke,
Fearing missing your sweet words.
I didn’t blink when you were in front,
Fearing missing slightest of your charm.
I didn’t drink ever with you,
Fearing missing the drunkenness in your presence.
I didn’t weep in front of you,
Fearing to lose the courage you give.
.....................
.....................
.....................
But now, you are not there.
Now I breathe, cause I listen no sweet voice anymore.
Now I blink, cause nothing gleams strikingly before.
Now I drink, cause nothing is intoxicating in front.
Now I weep, cause I find nothing encouraging to me.

A Heartfelt and Touching poem indeed. Beautiful flow of words, very pleasant and sad to read.
So beautiful and mesmerizing. I was very touched by the sadness expressed.
As I read this poem I couldn't do any of the things you didn't do, and then it all came back again, finding nothing encouraging. This poem is a beautiful feeling and flow of words ending in sadness, touching the heart. Great poem. RoseAnn
It's a beautiful poem, sweet and sad! The cause of the sweetness and sadness is the same 'You'. A poignant thought well expressed. The title is apt. Agree with all the comments below; those of Valerie, Geetha and Valsa. Kudos for the nice comments.
A very poignant write breathing out the air of longing and the despair of loss! ! On certain moments, life may seem empty!
