The Last Day

The Last Day

 

My heart won’t last a day without you.

My eyes can’t see your face…. and they cry.

My ears refuse to hear your terrible good-bye.

My lips solidify like a statue’s.

 

My last day is drawing near.

The day my heart has forever feared.

Now that you’re leaving my life has ended

Though my soul pleads, perhaps, you’ve pretended. 

 

Can’t your heart in time forgive me?

Can’t you find a place in it for me?

 

The last day now is here upon me.

Tomorrow is a day I’ll never see.

 

I will not survive the next Sunrise

for you’re leaving now

and it will be my heart’s demise.

              Extraordinary emotion, I felt every line, dearest Phil, your heart is most certainly on your sleeve for this one. Kudos. 🌹

                Thank you, Teddy 15. It was sweltering here, and I was wearing short sleeves, but yes, my heart felt small enough to fit.

                The power of dependency shines in this poem. Love a powerful element that makes and breaks.

                • MendedFences27

                  Thank you, SB. I suppose love is a powerful form of dependency.
