My heart started to cry... It's been crying a long time now Saying good bye Seems like tears are the norm... And I want to stop but I don't know how Everyday I think of you And all the things we used to do... Wondering if you were a dream come true But now it feels like I scarcely know you The signs foretell What my body and soul knows well You've gone and left me Maybe not physically But Certainly mentally... I yearn for you and ache in places I never knew But know that I will never tell you I feel like running and shouting, Screaming and jumping Throwing a tantrum or two But.... No, That will never do So much to say, So much to do I dreamt of doing it all with you But now I am awake, I dream no more And the visions evaporate As I watch you leave through that door... So I will grit my teeth, Wear my brightest smile Even though I want to die And I will stand and close the door And open it nevermore.

Diana......we all experience the same type of event, but it is a poet who transfers the emotions and feelings to text, without losing the impact of the time. The reader experiences your pain and joy...great write.....Kathy

The title had me a bit concerned as I naturally tend to assume the worst, but i'm glad to see this was an excellently written poem and not a true departure.
