    The simple things that touch me

    When left with a picture

    Or a memory

    That’s all I get

    So small to them

    Yet such a huge impact on my life

    What I should have done

    Was burn the pictures

    Forgotten the memories

    But I couldn’t

    They were all I had left

    Of what it was like

    Not to be alone

    In my life

    I’m grateful now

    Looking back on it all

    For the experiences and lessons learned

    Throughout it all

    That doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt

    From time to time

    These were special moments in my life

    Important lessons to grow from

    The beauty that made her unique

    Wasn’t just in her looks

    It was the effect she had on my Heart

    When I do drift off into the thought of her

    I try to imagine

    That she’s there when I wake 

    In my arms and in Love

    As hopelessly lost in me as I am in her

    I can’t capture the beauty of a women with lines or curves

    Paintings or sketches

    Rather I carve out and capture

    The shape of her Heart

    With my words

    That’s what I can do

    When she left me

    I felt like the last person on earth

    I didn’t just admire her

    I felt her

    In her eyes I could see the future

    Can I really rely on beauty for companionship

    Any dream of her

    Is like fire

    Can’t rewind time

    Just endlessly consuming my soul

    That’s the effect she has on me

    And all I can do

    Is write about it

    This reads as if the words poured out of your heart and mind unedited and raw. I hope the pain of moving on will ease more and more everyday. I especially appreciated the last few lines as you admitted that the only thing for you to do is to write about it. Nice poem Cowboy.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
