Poem Commentary

To My late beloved.

Why was it you?



        We shared a uniquely strong, loving and special
            relationship.
        We survived poverty, health problems and even being
           beaten and robbed to name a few hardships.
         Our love grew stronger as time passed,
         No matter what happened we never forgot how to love
          and laugh.
          So why were you taken suddenly taken from your family?
          I've never cried so many tears,
          Now alone I face my  fears.
          No more will I look into your eyes,
          Each day I find myself asking, WHY?
          Your death has devastated all who were close to you?
          With each hardship that comes my way,
           I'm finding it harder to know what to do.
           It's becoming difficult to find the words to express what
           I want to say.
           I'm lost and sometimes confused without you by myside.
           Even though it's been years since we wed,
           I'm still proud to have been your bride.
           It's so lonely in our bed.
           I still haven't found anyone to share my love and life,
           let alone anyone to be their wife.
           WHY WAS IT YOU?
           Why was I the one left behind?
           What am I to do?
           Why's love so hard to find?
           My heart cries out for you,
           I ache to feel your arms around me.
           I know I'll always love you.
           Only with you was I in love and complete.
           Why was it you that passed that night?
           Why was it you?

Very criptic, very sad, the emptyness comes across clearly. You switch between tenses , perhaps on purpose, they allternate , past and present with various stanza. An interesting aproach. An interupted rythm...much like an interupted love , it appears to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my work. You picked on what I was trying to express(lonely) and the switching of tenses to link the continuation of feelings and the break in rythm much like a broken heart. Once more I thank you for taking the time to really read my piece. I wish you well with your future endeavors. kyma63

Oh my heart...I know the devastation you must feel. You are a wonderful person with a loving heart. Love will always find a way and death is not the end. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I hope it was a catharsis for you. Well spoken.

Never doubt for one second your thoughts are not being heard by him, and the depth of such a love as you shared could be forgotten, from beyond this world... It will not... And, should you find another suitable other to trod the same life's path with again, from reading this, I have little reservation your heart is every bit the bottomless pit of love to share itself like that again... Well written....
