You Are Gone Forever Poem by Sandra Martyres
You Are Gone Forever
Why did you do this to Aryan and to me
Just yesterday we were one happy family
Then almost suddenly
God decided that you had leave us and flee
Neither He nor you seemed to care
That without you
Our hearth and home would be bare
Why were you in such a mighty hurry
To abandon our young son and me
You left, behind, for us, just the key
To the remains of your inert body
I looked into little Aryan's eyes
To comfort him as he silently cries
He knows not that you are gone forever
He weeps because you do not answer
I tell him that you have become a star
And that you will always watch over us, from afar
(a poem dedicated to a young colleague who lost her husband last week)
Seen this scenario before, very sad and heart warming. Bless you all
You show such empathy Sandra. I really admire how you tune in to the pain of another soul, and pick up what I consider to be the total sense of loss and the anger stage of grief. 10/10 for your sensitivity and caring.... Karin Anderson
I love it how you are speaking to the missing one and telling him how you have explained to the young child that he will not be around close at hand anymore, but instead will be watching over him from a star. Very profound and well chosen words.
Like I said before.I love poems that have questions, This is a good one, good write
Why did you do this to Aryan and to me.... it is baffling quaestion... no answer as it is God's gift and was takenback... bautiful i write... i just composed few seconds back.. why feet are trumbling? comeback home and never say good bye
This is a very sad and touching work, Sandra. The rhyming is very gentle.
There is a say - 'Have constructive thoughts, consoling words, compassionate acts.” You deserve full points on this poem for all those in above. Your words sprinkle the ray of light in the dark hour of sorrow. Good write. Good heart. Thank you.
