You Are Gone Forever Poem by Sandra Martyres

You Are Gone Forever

Rating: 5.0


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)

You have achieved wonderful rapport with your colleague's sorrow. This poem must be a solace to her. A very poignant expression of grief. Your last lines are especially beautiful. Kind regards, Sandra

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.
