Poetry
It is you.

For James




I lift my eyelids and notice a beige texture before my eyes
I caress your back and feel your skin
I put my left arm around your waist
Holding you tight
The moisture in my eyes fill my cheeks
And my heart plunges into an abyss of sadness

I know today is the last
To wake up beside you 
It is a pain so unbearable, yet I am willing to bear
For you are precious
And I want you
Even if we would be miles apart when the sun sets

I shall wander the earth alone again
It is not about the quantity of people who can spend time with me
But it is simply about that one person that I only want spend time with
And even a thousand men could never fill the void of that one person whom I belong to

And it is you

Powerful Stuff...
Written by Steve_K (54 comments posted) 11th April 2008
Really powerful stuff, as I read on, my eyes started to fill up. I can assure this never ever happens to me and I can't remember the last time it did. This piece got me to thinking about someone I don't wake up beside anymore as well. I think that is the sign of a good poem to stir the emotions. You managed to, well done :)
