I Need To Be Near You

I Need To Be Near You

 

Now that you’ve gone away

I am left with nothing to say

except  “I don’t know what to do.

I need to be near you!”

 

I can breathe when you’re here.

There’s air, when you’re near.

Without you I wither and die

like an eagle without his sky.

 

Without you near, there’s a hole 

in my heart, my life, my soul.

There's a hole that I live in

full of darkness, grief, and sin.

 

My life was sunlight and happiness

when you were near, I was happiest.

Without you near I am the saddest.

Your loss is driving me to madness.

 

Where you are I do not know.

I know only that you had to go.

Now gone, what do I do?

I need to be near you!

        Been there, done that & you clearly have too sir .. well scribed ..

        • MendedFences27

          Thank you, Neville. Yeah, it kind of tears your guts out at first, then we get angry, and finally move on. The time for all this to occur varies from next day to years.

          A sad poem. A love that was your sunlight, now obscured. Breakups do that. They cause such hurt. Your emotions come through well in this poem. Iā€™m sure it will be relatable to many. Have a good Sunday.

          • MendedFences27

            Thank you, Cassie. Breakups can be traumatic. First there is the pain of loss, followed by anger at both self and other, then, hopefully, resignation to the situation. Enjoy your Sunday.

            Incredibly sad and if it is non fiction even sadder, as a woman I'd like to say go out and get your girl, because we want to be saved, but not knowing each side of the coin is difficult to judge, a beautiful love note or song. I hope she comes back. šŸŒ¹

              Thank you, Teddy. These days, I'm mainly working off of memories. If it seemed real, I did my job.

              • Teddy.15

                Fabulous, memories that are dark or cheerful are indeed why we write. Superb work šŸŒ¹

                So sad and regretful, insinuating tears, I sympathize. Good work.
