All Alone
All alone again
in a night full of rain
with snow on the ground
that’s washing away.
Things will change, they say
when morning is sunrise-bound
but I’ll still be alone
with nothing and no one
except your voice, in every sound.
Our place is now a darkened hole
full of blackness and remembered vitriol.
Since you left I have been alone.
I struggle going to work each day
and come home to waste the time away.
I sit with my phone and pics of you
knowing I must face reality soon.
I listen to music but you’re in every tune.
I try to read, but every page is an outline of you.
Me and you are gone forever, I can’t believe it’s true.
We started out so very much in love
Finding beauty in everything
and hope in the stars above.
But then you changed, became remorseful.
You would cry a lot over silly things
and your arguments were always forceful.
I never sensed it would lead to this.
Never knew how much I would miss your kiss.
One day in late September, you told me to sit.
Then explained you’d be leaving soon
how the doctor had found something back in June.
“Untreatable,” he said and you couldn’t believe it
Yet, he said you’d be lucky to see December.
You’re gone now, but I will always remember….You.

Very sad indeed, this happened to one of my best friends, she left us in a flash, she didn't want us to know and she was only 34, I often write about her, a very beautifully composed piece, dear Phil. 🌹my song, leave me here to dream is about her and her husband, who was left to look after their 1 year old. 💙
Thank you, Teddy. I was listening to, "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro and it inspired this poem. So sad about your friend.
I lost my wife in an instant in my arms - I unfortunately know your pain
Thank you, Pappy155. Sorry to hear about your wife. My condolences.
Thanks - the club we hate to join!
Very emotive words Phil, I know how you feel when my wife passed but I now have a new lady in my life for which I am very fortunate and grateful.

Yes, I remember when that happened. Sorry for your loss, but you've recovered. This was inspired by the song, "Honey." Nothing bad happening here.
