I Promise...Farewell

"I promise I will never leave you."

"You are the only one I care about."

"I promise I will always love you."

"Losing you would be devastating."

"I promise I will love you forever."

 

You made many promises to me

Yet you broke all of them.

You promised me the world

Yet you made it collapse on me.

 

You never understood - 

You were my world the entire time,

But now my world is gone.

Now you are gone.

 

I no longer hear your laughter.

I no longer feel your warmth.

I no longer see your smile.

I no longer smell your comforting scent.

I no longer taste you on my lips.

 

All I hear are broken cries.

All I feel is the cold around me

   and my heart breaking slowly.

All I see is the darkness before me.

All I smell is the burning of paper.

All I taste are the tears on my lips.

 

Who knew it would all

Come to an end.

We were naive

To believe

This would last

Forever.

 

I promise to keep you

   in what remains of my heart.

You will always be in my mind.

I promise I will never forget you.

You will always haunt my mind.

I promise I will love you forever.

 

Farewell My King...

I love you.

I share the sentiment Cat. He knows who he is. . .

Lost love is a pain. I remember the line feeling of love is the most beautiful but separation is unbearably painful from a story I read during school time. Loved the rhyme and the way you expressed feelings by words.

Wow, a very strong poem about love lost that I am sure everyone can relate to.
