Driven Poem by Deborah Cromer

Remember me? I am the one who loved you to death, I thought
I destroyed us last year, a battle lost and never fought
How do I stay alive now, without you day after day after day
Breathing and living, my heart beats without you in a lonely way

Our lives together, was life lived to the most
Now only faded dreams, dusty thoughts of a very dead ghost
Pondering thoughts of a vision of us coming together one more time
Praying, I talk to God and speak to you through secret rhyme

Are you happy with her, is she now your new life
Do you live free daily, soaring heights of ecstasy, with her as your wife
Is she the one who makes you smile and be so very proud
How do I get my answers without speaking to you aloud

I dream of you, I think of us, it is how I exist, it is how I make it through
Remembering the passion, love we made in all we would say and do
Day after day, all day long you are my thoughts, you are my mind
The death and sadness of our yesterdays, and the final end left behind

I miss you badly, so much so that I think it is killing me
Only when darkness sets in and I no longer see you, will I be set free
