Poeme : Because You Are Gone Forever

Becaue you have now left for real
My heart is languishing
In dark corners
Reaching for the light of your caring self.

Days away and then weeks away and years away
Without the sound of your voice
Will be an infernal eternity
That holds me inconsolate and desperate.

I cannot long for the quick passage of time
That cannot bring you back
Next to my side to love me
The way I wanted to be loved.

Unfulfilled wishes
Lost without a last adieu.
