Loved and Lost

• Artist: Ketsuyin
• Description: It's a comman saying that it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. This poem is written from the perpective of a man who has lost his wife. Although I've never been married, I can imagine how painful it would be. I wrote this a few months ago.

If there's anything I should ever remember,
I suppose I'll remember it with you.
But there's nobody here to hold me so dear,
And there's nothing more I can do.

For many dark nights I've awoken,
To those eyes of deep emerald green.
And I'm cold and sweaty and shaken,
With the joy and the pain that I've seen.
Because there's much surprise in the eyes,
That sweet love has become a nightmare.
And every place I go I see your face,
But I know that there's nobody there.

I'll walk through this world a shade,
And I'll sleep my life's days away.
The pain of life alone on me laid,
To be carried from day unto day.
So what other word can be written?
And what other song can be sung?
All the gold in the world will not glisten,
And my riches are replaced with dung.

If there's anything I should ever remember,
I suppose I'll remember it with you.
But there's nobody here to hold me so dear,
And there's nothing more I can do.

*makes emotional face like she's about to cry and sing st the same time* That was so *sniff* emotional and pure poetry. It wasn't wishy-washy or hard-core, which rules! I could get into the rythem of the words as easily as I get into the rythem of my own poems!! (I only get into the rythem of my own work 'cause I wrote it and know the rythem, not cause it's any good, I don't know if it's good...find it and tell me?)
