I am old
When I was young
Fell in love
Fell deeper yet
Then deeper yet
Two things
I never would have bet
That she would die
My giant shell of love
Fill empty with regret.

I am gone
When I was young
Loved by one
Gave back the same
Gave more the same
Two things
I never would have dreamed
He'd remain
And ever be in pain
And just remain.

Annyjo,

Thank you, but that pain was eliminated greatly by the act of putting the emotions into words and expressing them. The loss of a dearly loved one is a tough thing that so many people face. It took me many years and three tours of duty in Iraq to finally shed the burden of pain, but I did it and now seek nothing but happiness for however many years I have left. Thank goodness there are wonderful people in the world and wonderful guitars to fill my days.

Thanks again,
G.

Pretty new here; just popped by to see what's going on. Good poem, and I'm glad it helped soothe the hurt. Maybe I'll post some of mine.
