I wish I could write a poem that would bring you back

I wish I could write a poem that would

Bring you back to me

I wish I could write a good poem, at least


On this day, one long, painful year ago

You stopped talking to me for good

Since then, I daydream of you, religiously


There's a full moon out tonight,

I'm ovulating, and it's been one year, exactly

Since I began to rot from your absence 


Can you feel the pull?

The full moon glows on me as it glows on you

My heart and my body aches for you, as it did a year ago


One year and millions of tears, since then

We were at the right place at the wrong time

I can barely breathe without your love


This grief, all-consuming, all too powerful

A whole year gone by, intoxicated by it

I filled your absence in every way I possibly could


Isn't it ironic how I shared a favorite quote with you,

About how in one's absence, your presence is even louder

How this made you cry, and now you have proven it true


I am never really alone, because your absence is here

It started raining as I write this, nature must be showing me

Your tears for me, as rainfall, on the same night we parted


Guess I was always right,

it was too good to be true

Our love could never be an even fit


For we had to lose one another

And love one another, in different times

But what's left is an unfinished story


Maybe I should make a painting

That perfectly resembles what we had

I'll just need to make sure to leave it incomplete

@peaceandblessings

I believe that a good poem is one that communicates something that touches us.

and you have very successfully and eloquently communicated the heartbreak of losing someone you love. I'm sorry for your loss and the pain you are going through.

Congratulations on your poem. I'm sorry that your main wish is out of your hands. That's often so hard to accept.

Love, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
