Anguish💔I Cannot Extinguish
A poetic tale of love lost, life’s sorrows, at too great a cost.
How long has it been, in which I bared my heart, so truly seen?
I think about all those close to me, come and gone, I no longer see.
Has it been now over seven years, the last time, I was amongst my peers?
When did I last see, not just friends and co-workers, but my close family?
Thinking too, about my last one true love, will I ever see her ever again?
There have been many in my life, for which I felt strong love, not any strife.
Friends may come and go, but family is forever, at least I’ve been told so.
Shall I see again, not just kindred souls, but the one I desired as my wife.
I think too about family lost, so long ago; grandparents, father and mother.
Will we be together, in the hereafter, with friends I knew now dead too.
Dear pets, so many through the years, this sorrow I feel so much stronger,
Leaves me feeling empty, not fully disheartened, I just wish for more; I do.
What is it about life, that leads one to reflect on time long since past?
Is it that which we lost: love…
