Widower's Confession Poem by Joey Infante

Widower's Confession

Rating: 5.0


I held her hands, on bended knees
Eyes gone red, tears rolling down my cheeks
I kissed her lips, so cold and dry
Her touch in mine triggered me to cry

She screamed in pain while uttering my name
It crushed my heart I couldn’t do a thing
I whispered softly, so wounded and broken
God why? God why? You allowed this to happen?

I embraced her so tight, her voice slowly fading
Her eyes closed, and barely breathing
An excruciating pain ate the sanity in me
For as she took her last breath, I’m not who I used to be

I covered her face, my hands shivering
My love is dead, my life, my everything
She’s gone forever leaving me all alone
I don’t know how to live my life, a life on my own.

Nicely expressed to a vivid memory of futility and despair that embraces the coming to terms with loss. The poem has a tremendous feel of shock and grief to it that is richly displayed by depth of emotion.
