Splashing Tears Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Having shared a lifetime with you, somehow separating us
with grief, tears splashing with every thought I take
to heart my love.

Asking eternal questions that have no answers, stubbornly
wanting to know why you have been taken from me, anger
cornering my being within.

Hurting so intensely, but I cannot let go of it for I want
you back in my life my dear, silent days and nights, left
alone to face the reality of your death against my life.

Heart broken beyond repair, nothing to be done, I am afraid
my love, afraid to live without you, you were my strength,
courage, heart, you loved and cared for me through the years.

So tenderly and carefully giving me your beautiful heart to
hold, love and cherish, now you're no longer here, how can I
go on, how can I live alone my dear.

Sitting quietly, mind blank, nothing to look forward to, no
hope, a sinking feeling in the pit of my being, abandoned,
forsaken through no fault of your own my love.
