Poetry: My pain

by J Meckes

She's Gone

She owned my soul
my beating heart
my reason to live
why would she part?

I cannot breathe
my heart I can't hear
no desire to live
my dreams so unclear.

She was my smile
my total delight
my passions lived
in her arms each night.

What could I've done
her love had grown cold
her love and pleasures
to another she sold.

The hurt is deep
I've nowhere to turn
the scars she left
forever will burn.

Oh God, she's gone
my heart is a stone
must I live without dreams
in this lifetime alone?
