The Last Goodbye Poem by Samantha Meyrick

Be still my aching heart
as I dry away my tears
this pain doesn't seem to lessen
as I pass along the years.
These feelings overwhelm me
I wish it wasn't so,
I still can't comprehend the reason
why you had to go.
Just a year ago today
I carried you down that aisle.
I stood and said my last goodbye,
stayed with you there a while.
Now you sit upon my shelf
in your pot of wood
wishing to hold you again,
if only that I could.
