Poetry: Anger over the loss of a loved one

by J. Lee M.

Once upon a yesterday I walked this road with you

Hand in hand we strolled along

Knowing only that which was true

In another time; another place; bonds of love grew strong

In a world that felt no need to judge

To that which we both belonged?

Today I awoke-groggy and drained

To the sight of a dismal rain

Left only with a fading memory

And a soul so distraught and strained

The wonder of just how you could leave me alone

In this unforgiving place

To perish amongst the rubbish remaining

In the clutching arms of disgrace

Never would I have abandoned you so

To lie beaten of this world's choice

Yet as I scream to the heavens in dead of the night

You shall never hear that voice

Perhaps one day a tomorrow will come

When our paths will once again cross

Until that time I will wander; alone in this hell

In the land of the living lost
