I Don't Want To Go On

Extremely sad poem.

I don't want to go on

without you here with me

there is no longer a reason 

for living as far as I can see.

You were my beloved.

my life, and my heart

but nothing makes any sense

now we are apart.

The tears don't stop

like a flooding rain

sobs wracking my body

over and over again.

All I feel now is hopeless

where love once grew

for baby there is no life

if I am not with you.

You warned us, and it is. Very sad, but beautifully written and expressed. And I know it's new, written by you, but it feels aftreer the first read as if I've read it a thousad times. But never so clearly expressed. I think it is because you have handled it so well. A wonderful write that I have enjoyed reading and will again, for it touches upon some wonderfully universal thems and emotions. So very powerful. Thank you for posting it.

Sad true, and you have every right to be sad, but look at what good poetry it makes. You are an amazing person who has a lot to offer someone. You just need to find someone who will appreciate the gift for what it is. Well written

There is a bottomless sadness here that engulfs everything known to this reader. Your words touch on a primal need and that once it is gone it is like we lose a part of yourself.
