A pool of tears, always full, <br />ready to overflow at will <br />whenever notes of love are strummed <br />on the strings of my heart. <br /> <br />Be it a song, a dance, or just a word, <br />I see your face <br />I hear your voice, <br />the tears flow. <br /> <br />I know for certain <br />it will always be so; <br />from the well of sorrow <br />the pool refills itself. <br /> <br />I am among family and friends, <br />yet I feel alone; <br />words of comfort and kindness <br />don’t soothe my pain. <br /> <br />Life has lost its flavour, <br />the future lost its allure; <br />I am without an anchor, <br />adrift in a world not my own. <br /> <br />When dark despair engulfs me, <br />you shine a light to save me; <br />I have your love to remember, <br />and your promise of the 3rd November.<br /><br />Isam Hussain<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/since-you-went-away/
