These old eyes can't see you. by Festerocious

These old eyes can't see you, my love my life of mine.
I'm living in the darkness that your light has left behind.

You leaving cause a pain that no mortal man can bear.
My love is with me solely, no other with which to share.

I miss you now my love, my dearest sweetest wife.
The colour in the world has gone there is no sign of life.

I spend my days in darkness now just sitting feeling cold.
I always thought we'd be together, sweethearts getting old.

But these old eyes can't see you and my breath is getting short.
Maybe I will see you soon, much quicker than I thought.

Man, I can just imagine 
that emptiness, that void, that solitude
when all through the years
it was only about you and her
But now she's not there
And you're missing her
And you're ready to be called 
Looking forward to see her again
Goodbye loneliness . . .
You've painted your soft side, Festerocious.

I usually don't comment on poems but I thought this was very touching. 
"I'm living in the darkness that your light has left behind."
Lovely.

You make the readers feel all the emotions in this poem - the emptiness, the loneliness. and specially the love for the wife.  Great work, Festerocious!

Blimey Fester, This is all very deep and meaningful. Really tugs at the heartstrings. Good stuff.
How go's the book? You can't be far away now.
BTW hope to get across to UK before the year is out. We may finally get the chance to have that beer.

What can I say about myself that won't get the Police involved? I am a happily married man with two children and a wonderful wife. That sounds sane enough. My writing kicked off when I smacked my ... (Read more)
