As soon as you were gone
Life without you was empty and cold
No longer here to love me
No one for me to hold
i feel exposed and vulnerable
I have no place to hide
Life is a dark and perilous path
Without you by my side
Responsibilities overwhelm me
Without you here to share
I feel so lost and lonely
Without you here to care
The wonderful life we shared
Seems such a long time ago
Even with happy memories
my spirit still sinks low
How can I face a future
Without you by my side
When will I find courage
Without you as my guide.

- Comment from author about the poem: Returning to a single life was not something I thought would happen to me now. Losing my husband so suddenly, without warning has been a huge shock. We were together for fifteen years and hoped for many, many more. I feel unprepared but with the love of my family and friends I will learn to carry on without him.

The sudden loss of a loved one is always so challenging and your words in this verse outline the grief which loneliness brings - sincere condolences dear poetess and tho the saying seems trite I know from experience that time dulls the pain - keep hold of those memories that make you smile knowing he would want that.
Thank you for your kind words x
My goodness, this heart just aches for you. I hope the love of family can help guide you through this tragic life change. You've penned this so well.
Thank you for your kind words. I find there is a freedom in writing here and it helps. Xx
Well, you just write your sweet fingers off then! I hope it's like a healing balm.
