Only A Measure Of Your Heart Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

When you're gone, only a measure of your heart
lies within my being, knowing that it is so be-
cause I feel your loss now defining my life.

There are no outward appearances of you anymore,
only sorrow of the emptiness you have left me
with when you departed this earth.

A solo journey I wish you never had to take with-
out me, wanting to have gone with you, my dear,
for there is nothing left for me here anymore.
