Gone

Randi Hankins 1976 (Wv)

Ode
Lips so sweet
They tasted like heaven
Hands so soft
You used them as weapons
No touch, no tremble
No sound to remember
My light is fading
Fast from within
I can no longer bare
The weight of your sins
No hand to hold
To keep me safely
Solace will be found
In the ground where they lay me

About this poem

I wrote this about my husband and the immense pain I have felt since he’s gone. As well as lies I uncovered since.
