Death Claimed My Love
by Sea_of_okc
My story is a tragedy
Be prepared to cry
They say time heals all
But that is a lie

I searched my whole life
And I finally found
The one meant for me
Love and joy did abound

How quickly that changed
One ill-fated day
Death claimed my love
Death stole her away

Maddened by grief
Consumed by my sorrow
She was my future
Now I have no tomorrow

I stare at her picture
I long for her touch
I can still smell her
I miss her so much

I pick up my gun
And contemplate death
What use in living
When I feel so bereft

But life is a gift
And I haven't the right
So I put down my gun
And weep through each night

I mourn for her daily
There is no relief
My soul is tormented
My heart filled by grief

My life without meaning
No feelings but pain
Death claimed my lady
I can't love again

My bedmate is rage
My friend, misery
I live for my death
Cause she's waiting for me

Charlee
Your poem touched me and you were right i did cry. i know what its like to just want to lay down close your eyes and die. a feeling of nothingness nothing matters or never will. sorry for you loss. but im sure she wouldnt want you to be unhappy so live your days as if each one was your last and when the time comes for you to be together again it will happen. good luck with your girl for when you do passover to heaven or whatever else you may belive in. God bless
