FOR A MOMENT

For a moment

all the lights went out

and the melodies stopped.

Life lost its rhythm

as hearts took another tune,

pumping to a different beat –

the beat of loving you,

missing you,

and the pain,

the pain of losing you.

For a moment

all the lights went out,

and my breath failed

as I could not imagine

a life without you.

Even breathing labored me

by remind of life

Life? The very you lost.

For a moment

all the lights went out.

I could not see ahead

and I wished to turn,

run back into your arms

and the comfort therein.

Oh…. I miss your love

For a moment

all the lights went out

and in ensuing darkness

life lost its luster.

colour faded

from all things beautiful

tinting the gloom of my misery.

For a moment

all the lights went out

but only for so long

before you became a light

that shines down on me

ever watching out for me.

$$Margaret, I may have said it once or twice that I love you. I may have shown it a few more times than that. I wish you could see me now, since the extent of my sorrow at your departure may as yet be the best proof of how much I loved you. I said it, even showed it; I hope you heard and believed me.

Mon souer, requiescat in pace (RIP).$$
