I've lost him in the clouds <br />gone from my view, <br />And however deep I seek <br />I can't pursue, <br />This man who was my love <br />someone so true, <br />So very much my refuge <br />my rendezvous. <br />Such emptiness descends <br />my world is blue! <br /> <br />If I could fly up high <br />would he be there, <br />Looking down with eyes <br />that show his care, <br />Remembering the times <br />we used to share, <br />There isn't anyone <br />who can compare, <br />Such emptiness descends <br />he's gone elsewhere. <br /> <br />But I will hold him here <br />within my soul, <br />And cherish all we had <br />so I feel whole, <br />He'll always be with me <br />and will console, <br />This hurting heart of mine <br />which all condole. <br />Such emptiness descends <br />what is my role! <br /> <br />I'm out there on my own <br />I must last through, <br />For without his hand to guide <br />I've no value, <br />To finding my way alone <br />I have no clue, <br />Where will I go from here, <br />what will ensue. <br />Such emptiness descends <br />on my debut!<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/emptiness-descends/
