Poisoned Purple Pen

For Coop

My darling I ask of you not to leave
Consumed, alone in our bed while I grieve
My heart shattered a million times over
Bearing the thought, the loss of my lover

I hear them calling, our brave little men
And wish to God I had hope once again
Your picture it sits on the dresser right there
I can’t help but sit and get lost as I stare

For only a moment the pain goes away
But again, I quickly get lost in the fray
Days turn to night and continue to blend
Doing my best to find solace in friends

It’s not enough, for all I can see
The one I want, isn’t here with me
The pain is almost too much to bear
My love, my life, is no longer there.

And then I hear it, the brave ones they call
Their vibrant voices echo from down the hall.
Finally, it hits me, and I can clearly see
In them, is a big part of you and me.


That was my contribution to the Rhyming Poetry Campfire.
