Lost Part of Me
By A.H.
I can’t believe that you would leave me here
With only my pillow to catch my tears
My biggest fear was always losing you,
and now that you’re gone I just don’t know what to do
My momma told me that some girls just aren’t strong
but I believe you’ve been gone
Truthfully I still don’t know why?
Is it my fault or could you be in love with another guy?
Girl you was the only 1 that gave me a natural high
Now every time I think of you I feel a burning within my eyes
They say that every dog has its day
You had me down on my knees begging you to stay
I can feel you fading away from me
My face is turning blue with every word I speak
It’s the thought of another man loving you that makes me weak
Can’t you see since I’ve been gone I’ve lost a part of me

You cope with the loss so beautifully. I pray that you’re granted even more strength and beautiful patience. Keep on writing.

Dear AH
This is beautiful. Your talent and reflectiveness shines through in your writing. The imagery of tears in the eyes, and your use of rhetorical questions make this poem extremely powerfule. I find it amazing that a single person is able to influence us in such profound ways. What are some of the most profound ways others have intfluenced your life? Who were they?
Heartfelt. Being alone with those thoughts feels terrible. Good you’re gettin it out in words.
Always can write more stories about new things.
