Poem about Death Of a Lover

This poem I dedicated to my friend, soul mate and lover who changed my life but never knew

Eternal Love

© Terrie Brushette
I stand alone on the sandy beach
my tears flowing into the sea
because I know you’re out of reach
and no longer here with me

You looked so handsome laying there
In eternal sleep forever
The pain I hide is too much to bare
I want us to be together

But I am needed on this lonely land
for a little longer at least
to help and guide the people I love
giving them reassurance and peace

so I’ll be on the shoreline here
to cry more tears over you
On your birthday every year
to celebrate our love so true

Until it's time to meet once more
to hold and love one another
as we did all those years ago
when I was your friend and lover.

  • I lost my soul-mate four years ago. she died after being horribly ill for over a year and wasting away. I loved her then as I love her now, with all my heart. every beat of my heart is a constant craving for her, my baby. thank you for helping me cry again. I needed to.

  • It has been almost a year since the one I loved passed away there is nothing that I wouldn't do or give to see or hear from him again, to hold him and tell him how much I love him. Being with him I felt complete like I didn't want or need for anything else in this world. Now at present I just feel empty sometimes I think about all the dreams we used to share. I lost my best friend the only person who knew me. What hurts me other than losing him is that he died with no one by his side and the hospital didn't report him dead to his family till the following day and that I was too late to see him.

  • My boyfriend has a terminal illness and he has about 3 years left, reading this poem just reminded me that soon I'll have to watch the man I love die. I can't even bare the thought of having to see him lying there motionless in a coffin, knowing that he will never again open those beautiful eyes of his and look at me with the love he does now. And that I'll never see that silly smile of his when he teases me, I don't know how I'm going live without him in my life. He is my soulmate and no man can ever/will ever replace him in my heart.

  • The person I cared about most my boyfriend met with an accident and died. I wasn't there with him, he died in another country. I don't know how to move on without him, life seems so hard, like nothing matters. It hurts so much that he will never be with me again to see him lying there motionless is something I don't know how to handle because that's not the person I know that's so full of life. We will never be able to do any of the things we talked about. I would do anything to see, hear and be with him and to tell him how much I love and care for him. I love you baby wherever you are.

  • My boyfriend just took his own life two weeks ago. Me and him were soulmate and were engaged to be married within the next few years. I never expected him to take his own life at all. He was always so happy and fun loving until he got mixed in with the wrong crowd. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him and wonder why he would ever do this. I love you baby.... I miss you more than words can explain <3

  • I lost the love of my life in March 2010 and I haven't been the same. I lost my best friend, my whole world. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him especially since his birthday is next week. I'm just waiting to be able to get to see him again in heaven.

  • I lost a special friend! We wanted long term even at our age (50's) known him such a short time, 3 and half months, felt he was the ideal guy! Too many people saying things caused me to be cautious! We did a lot, went to supernatural convention and hung out! Very short time with intimacy! Laughed a lot! I miss him very much and having his friend (ex-girlfriend) telling me to move on! It is still less than a month since he past and I just cannot let him go! He will always be a part of me! I miss you Jeff! Your true friend, Denise

  • I found out that someone I knew and loved is dead. I was so mad at him when we last saw each other, but it wasn't real anger. Alex, I'm sorry. You were beautiful.

  • My boyfriend died about 3 months ago. He died by accidentally touching the live wire from their roof. We were on a fight and decided to talk on Monday. But Saturday midnight, he died already. I didn't even got the chance to see him for the last time. To talk to him, to hold him, to kiss and hug him. My whole life and dreams got shattered into a million pieces. But now I'm trying my very best to put it all back into pieces. I'll always carry you in my heart Nathan. I miss you, everyday.

  • I read this and break down. I just lost my boyfriend in a car crash 2 months ago. I ask God why, why would he take him at such a young age. He was only 16, he didn't even get to finish high school. Why, would God take away such a young man, everyone loved him! He always had a smile on his handsome face.. I miss you more and more each and everyday. I know one day I'll be able to see you again Mo. You will forever be in my heart. #79. <3 I love you
