Difficult Lesson Of Love Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Lonely, forlorn, wanting you only my love, life is
an empty desert if you are not with me all the time,
flowers of cacti will not bloom, rain will not fall,
sun is no longer shining.

Darkness comes upon me when you are gone, living in
a hell, no way to come back to life like it used to
be, sadness draining everything from what you used
to be in our life together.

Music cannot play any longer, it sounds out of tune
and empty of love, our hearts no longer beating rhy-
thmically, we two have completed our earthly journey
of love and caring.

You have lived your purpose and now I must go on living
mine, alas, without you, my dear, and that is the most
difficult lesson I must learn and fulfill without you
by my side any longer.
