In the deepest, darkest
depths of my heart
is where I keep them
now, lost forever
souls never to be seen
nor heard from again
once, long ago
they where here, in body and soul
voices, laughter, warmth
safe arms wrapped around me
on those occasions I needed them
with life's tears, shared between us
I often think about
what it could have been like
If they hadn't left this earth
so soon?
I often reflect with great sorrow
my only question
why did they have to leave?
my greatest sadness is knowing
they are absent
whenever I myself
have the great fortune
to feel joy
knowing they aren't here to see it
leaving an empty space...
In the deepest, darkest
depths of my heart.

Very emotive words Teddy but they will always be with you in Spirit.

Well written, Teddy. I light a candle on those days and let them out.
Isn't it funny how on certain days we just need too, my poems are my candles. Thank you dearest Jerry. 🌹
I feel this in that many of my friends that I grew up with are now gone. Relatives too and I wonder how much longer I have
Oh, well I'm in my late 40's dearest sorrenbarret, I've lost in tragic ways as a youngster, having lost my brother in my early 20's and mother in my 30's I can't help but reflect on how nice it would have been to share.simple photos with them from my recent holiday. Life is this isn't it! Thank you my dear dear friend. I have also lost friends, who were both incredibly young. Biggest of hugs and thank you for sharing 🤗
goose bumps
and a lump in my throat.
(and a few tears while thinking of lost ones to go with it)
oh my!

Dear Teddy, yes, that’s where our dearly departed loved ones stay. Deep in the heart. Never far away. A part of us. In a few days it will be the 10th anniversary of losing my brother. I keep close to my three nephews. They all have a little of him in them. It is a blessing to see and feel it. A lovely write which touched me this Friday morning. Have a beautiful day dear poet. 🌹
