About the Poem

I wrote this poem shortly after I lost someone.

Pains Of The Heart

Pains of the heart
Burn like a knife,
Slice you down to size,
Take away your pride.
You’ve lost your money, you can cry,
But lost your friends, say good bye.

A lost love, of so long ago,
Pain so deep you can’t know.
That tender face so far away.
That dream of it, you dream all day.
A cut so deep it never heals,
Can’t compare to how you feel.

You hold your heart in your hands,
But alone is where I must stand.
To walk, to talk,
To laugh and cry,
But my friend, this is good bye.
Deep in my heart you will always stay.
I will never be far away.

Yet in the stars, we will meet,
Then my life will be complete.
As days fly by in time and space, you must leave,
But not I, for this is my place.
In your heart will I stay? Only God can say.
But in my heart will you stay?
I’ll think about you every day.

This poem really hit home to me. My brother lost his 18 year old fiance in an car accident, she was on her way to pick up her veil for their wedding in a month. It has been hard, but as you say we will all meet again.

Your poem moved me to tears. i just lost the man of my dreams on Sept. 14th 2005. 10 minutes from getting off of duty as a police officer a drunk drive slammed into his patrol car. In a coma for 2 wks. thru prayers he came back to us. he was taken to a rehab center & our lives looked like we had always planned. until that day when God called him home. the wedding day never came for us here on earth but i know that someday we will be together in God's Castle. R. I. P Chuck. I love you forever & always

A beautiful poem describing the pain of loss so eloquently.

three months ago i lost my best friend of six years, and the man i thought was to be my husband. he was killed in a car crash and lived to see his two last days . my future was altered that day when the heavens cried out, trying to help me understand why they took back my angle . now I'm left fixing the hems of my life that i thought would fit around my man. My heart still beats in the rhythm of his soul. The rhythm I have danced to for so long. the party I celebrated time and time again has ended. and this Cinderella will never have her prince charming. And so I know what loss is. For only three years ago I lost my father. and now this. My life is bitter sweet. but heart has remained bruised by all that this world has thrown at me.
