The pain in my heart intensifies.

I reach out my hand
only to watch you turn away.
Tears fill my eyes,
the pain in my heart intensifies,
and still I reach out to you.
I want to save you,
I need to save me,
and in that we’ve lost us.
I call out, one last time.
A hope and a prayer
is all that’s left.
You’re gone
and all I have
is my outstretched hand.

    nice poem though it’s sad,
    life goes on and time heals the wound

    Special relationships can be so very heartbreaking, through hope and prayer the clouds do break to bring the sun back. Beautiful poem!
