My love is gone

Our dearest friends lost their 22 year old daughter a couple of years ago and another friend lost his wife Thanksgiving day last year. This poen is written as a tribute to their pain.

My love is gone

My heart cries out in anguish
Yet no one hears my plea
My world has stopped
Yet others still move
I cannot hear
Yet others speak
I stand here weeping
While others laugh
My love is gone
Yet life goes on

I cry out to God
But does he hear
I ask why
Knowing there is no answer
Sleep flees my grasp
Yet weariness is present
Alone with the memories
Alive with my ache
My love is gone
Yet life goes on

An inward tug
No not yet
Prayer is a thought
I hurt too much
Lord why
There is no answer
The pain is intense
The tears come again
My love is gone
Yet life goes on

An out stretched hand
I don

Thanks! I sent it to her last night and she said she is going to put it in her daughter's scrapbook. It truly is a moving poem, I haven't read one so accurate from a Christian perspective in a long time, if ever. Many Christian poems seem to neglect the fact that people sometimes hurt so badly that they can't even pray or feel they can trust God...and that has to come back. I like how your poem allows for that but also shows that God is always there and is ready for us to come back to Him.
