Mourning Poem

Loosing the one person that mattered most is painful.

Taken From Me

© Angie Flores
I'm sitting here in my room, looking at your picture.
Wondering why you couldn't be a part of my future.
Uncontrollable tears stream down my face,
while my heart beat starts to race.
Asking God why he took you from my life,
it was more painful than stabbing me in the heart with a knife.
I still needed you here
you were the one to make everything so clear.
you are apart of me and I am apart of you
when you died a part of me died too.
I never knew how hard it was to loose someone you love
until the day you went to heaven above.
Even though I can't see,
I know your up there watching over me.
I miss you more and more everyday
and all I can do is pray.
In my heart you shall forever remain.

  • I know just how you feel...
    my Nan meant the world to me and when she died I just gave up.
    it was like I didn't have the strength to carry on any longer.
    I would do anything just to have my Nan back in to my life again.
    I love you Nan

  • My mother passed recently. We were both born on Sept. 24. I was born on her 30th birthday and in many ways we were like twins. Never ever apart. Now that she is gone I feel as though I am in shock. I take medications and go to therapy but nothing seems to help. I feel as though my life ended when hers did. I am not sure this will ever change although others tell me it will. Please God I hope it does or I too will die from a broken heart.

  • This poem makes me cry. My brother-in-law Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski was shot and killed May 3rd. I truly miss him. My sister and I feel the way this poem feels. We just sit and think about him and wonder why? Why did happen? My sister and him had there whole lives to live now it is gone in a second. She is stronger than I ever Imagined. She has showed me how to be strong but it has been hard on all of us.

  • My Pop just died Friday, December 12, 2008 of Lung Cancer. He was my only grandfather, my other one is my dad's dad and that side of the family has nothing to do with me. My Pop was like a father to me as well as my grandpa. I often find myself in my room looking at his picture and bawling, asking God why. This poem is terrific, and it's very heart-felt.

    I love you Poppy, you are my angel!

  • This poem really touched me a lot... I lost the person that was the world to me back in April 2008... My husband and father to my 3 children... I still need him and that isn't going away I need him desperately every day but I know he is watching over me and the kids.. I have a 5 yr old, 3 yr old and 9 month old... I know he would be very proud of his kids and I know he is still here somehow and I know 2 of them will never remember their father but I know somehow he will be alive in each of our hearts... your poem really outs some of my thoughts into words... and that is hard to do

  • That poem blew me off my feet. So Emotional so deep, and so touching! I lost my boyfriend of 2 years, a month ago and everyday I pray for his safety and just to tell him I love him. The part it says ' its just like stabbing me in the heart with a knife'.. my boyfriend died of 6 stab wounds to the heart, and all that night I had horrible stabbing pains in the chest. to only think what my baby was going through, thank you so much for sharing that poem that really touched me.

  • My sister passed away of suicide in Dec of 07. As I was reading this poem it brought tears to my eyes. There are so many parts that sound like poems my sister and I have wrote. I feel as though you and I were both in the same shoes. I know from experience that that is one of the only ways of loosing someone when you don't know whether to be angry at them, or sad for them. If I am right about the situation I commend you for being stronger than I could have ever been when I went through it.

  • This poem really pulled on my heartstrings as I recently lost the love of my life and he was way too young to be taken. The emptiness that surrounds you is overwhelming all you can do is pray and give your broken heart to God.

  • Early this year I lost my god-father. He meant everything to me. I never got to say goodbye. My parents wouldn't allow me to visit him the day before he died. I headed to an audition that night with my brother. I was the only person in my family who cried when we found out he was dying. I miss my Uncle Don!

Trusting God to help me to help my family and her dad her husband, son and little girl to cope with huge loss. Our hearts are shattered.

  • My sister passed away two years ago and not a day goes by with out me thinking why. She was two months pregnant with her first baby and was about to get married and then on March 3 her life ended and mine I think went with her. My sister meant everything to me. She was more like my mom then my sister. I could go to her for anything and she always gave me her hand she never judged me or asked questions. I just miss her so much and I would give any thing to have her back.

  • On January 14, 2009. My 17 year old daughter left for school. Later that day she called and ask me could she go to a basketball game. That was the last time I heard or saw her alive. Later that night after calling the police to report her missing. I received that knock at the door to let me know that my child had been murdered. Then poems and stories on this site have really helped me to grieve and feel better about my situation. You see I have a 10 year old daughter, who was only 7 years old at the time of Brittany's death. I had to remain strong for her. My heart would ache so bad because I could not let her see me break down. I would have to beat my chest just to ease some of the pain that I felt. Even now, when I feel pain for the lost of her I have to just shake it off because I feel that if I let go I might not be able to return to sanity.

I found out in Feb 2011 that I had cancer and he was my rock and still is but in Oct we found out he had cancer and Nov 21, 2011 he passed away it was way to fast and it should not have been him that went first, I miss him more every day and don't believe it will get any easier.

  • My uncle died two weeks ago from suicide and when I read this poem I started to cry, thought of him and all the good memories we had together. I felt so hurt when I heard that he was. Out of all the uncles my best one was gone forever. He was like a second father to me. :( I didn't know what to do and how to react, I was confused, lost and I didn't believe he would leave me.

    miss you uncle.

  • I lost my wonderful Loving husband and friend Christopher Powers on Feb. 9,2012 and every day is hard and I can't seem to pick up the pieces. The poem "Taken from me" says everything I feel and my life has been shattered turned upside down and inside out. We were married 13 years. I miss hearing him tell me he loves me he told me that numerous times in a day. I hear people tell me it will get easier then read those that have lost their spouse for 5 years or more to Me it never gets easier and never will, if you truly love that person And I truly love Christopher & will miss always. Love you always and forever your Loving wife Carol

  • I cried with your poem it's exactly how I feel I've lost two son's. One was 14 that was 11 years ago he would be 25 and recently in September 2010 I lost another son he was 20. It has been so hard for me especially this last one, because we had so many conflicts it has been so hard for me to accept and face not being able to say I'm sorry and how much I truly Loved him.

  • My daughter Kerri was 25 yrs old when on Dec. 21 2011.
    She was taking my grandson to daycare on her way to work. She went off the road and hit a tree and the car caught immediately on fire. There was a fireman driving behind her and by the time he got to the car he was able to break the window, cut the carseat belts and got my grandson out, he tried to get my baby girl out but was too late. My grandson got burned but he now turned 5 years of age in 2012 and is doing great, but I miss my only daughter severely.
