Widow's Tears Poem by Paul Sebastian
Widow's Tears
You left me deserted
In the widow’s desert
Where my heart parched
Your presence I thirsted
I wear your shirt to sleep
Spray your cologne on me
Hugging pillow, I weep
Consoling myself in fantasy
Nights are unbearably slow
Morn greets with no kiss
Your absence hits with a blow
Love-making, dawn’s bliss
Evil cancer overstayed
Daily I suffered painfully
As you slowly ebbed away
Pain deeply seated in memory
Chemotherapy retracted
Prayers went unanswered
We were hopelessly devastated
Dashing life we’d envisaged
In my arms you breathed last
Heart tore to pieces, your loss
What a bargain? What a cost!
My life devoid to gather moss
Like movie reel, I play everyday
Cannot tear you apart from me
Days before me are dark and gray
You haven’t departed from me
Yet, wanted me to remarry
To restart my life anew
How could that ever be?
I rather go, be with you
My whole being yearns
My lonely heart longs
My embittered soul pines
To reunite with one it belongs
Thousand years I’ll wait
To unite ourselves: death free!
Thousand times you I’ll wed
To live with you for all eternity!

To lose one's loving partner prematurely is something unbearable! The sense of loneliness and helplessness that ensue with a dear one's absence is something so depressing! You have captured the agony and frustration of a widow in arresting words!
