Grief In Flight : Relationship Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann

 

 

I still remember

the ring I gave to you ,

and all of the things

that both of us went through .

I can't change what happened

or that final word  ,

when we said goodbye

to all the love that we shared .

 

With tears in my eyes

I think of all we had ,

and though time has moved on

it still seems so sad ,

that the life of our little child 

 is now gone .

 

Memories remain

and with these I carry on .  

We're strangers now in a distant place and time ,

but I still remember the day you where mine .

 

Love is gone

and I'm just looking for a friend ,

You're out of sight

and out of mind .

There are some times

when I don't know what to do ,

There's something missing ,

my heart is broke in two .

I've written you letters

but thrown them away ,

words cannot express

 the things I want to say .

You were a mother

and a beautiful wife

we just couldn't cope

 with the loss of a life .

 

All the grief and loss

it just tore us apart ,

Why our baby died

why it had to depart .

 

Brief the journey

that a lifetime could not fill .

I often wonder

if you're there weeping still .

 

Oh my distant love

 for too long we have cried ,

for the love that left

and the baby that died .

 

If only grief

could be a kite in the sky ,

so it would hop on a  breeze

and just fly by .
