My heart still beats for you

A poem about love after a spouse dies

By Cheryl E PrestonPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

There is no way to comprehend

That your life has come to and end

I’m overcome with varied emotion

Like billows of waves tossing on the

ocean

I miss the smile that was on your face

Still I remember your warm embrace

With every pulsating beat of our hearts

We grew together and not apart

Adversity forged a bond unbreakable

Though tested and tried we remained

unshakable

Our love stood the test of time

I was yours and you were mine

Now I’m here and you are gone

Im lonely and so all alone

You were my one and only lover

For me there will never be another

Death came and tore us apart

But does not stop the love in my heart

It’s real factual and true for you

Every beat is only and always for you

heartbreak
