The Waiting

The Waiting

Empty days like this
Always seem so long
Bright sunshine outside
The shades are drawn

Country music playing
Every song reminds me
Of your gentle smile
How things use to be

Now sitting all alone
Waiting for days end
Time now moves so slow
Prayers to you I send

Can you hear my pleas
Reaching for you above
Do you feel my heartbreak
Dying without your love

Can't hold on much longer
Without you by my side
This fight's much to hard
When all my dreams have died

    The pain in your words is palpable. It is difficult to imagine pain that great, yet I can imagine the love.

    Cindy,
    Always a touching and sad write when you speak of your beloved John. You always find a way to bring that sadness and reality of missing him into such a beautiful and touching poem that the rest of us can relate to although we may have never been faced with that. You have that ability to make one cry and be thankful for the days with their loved ones. Thank you Cindy for always writing the most touching poetry that stirs those emotions up.

    This is intense, and really sad. I know I used to feel like this about someone, but I found someone so much more, who makes my world go round.
    Anyways, I love this poem. Keep it up!
