Mourning Poem

I dedicate this poem to my fiancée who was murdered. I miss him so much it wasn't his time to go!

Why You?

© Annemarie Castle
as each day passes
I sit and wonder why?
why you were taken
without a chance to say goodbye
and as I start thinking
with tears running down my cheeks
I think of life without you and it really makes me weep

I think of the future
and nothing seems that bright nothing is the same without you by my side
all I have is memories and a hole inside my heart
I knew how much I loved you from the very start

I look at the pillow beside me where you use to rest your head
now all I have is a grave to look at instead
I long for you to hold me
tell me everything's ok
I just want so much for this pain to go away

you take life for granted without a thought about the day someone that you truly love is suddenly taken away

  • O my god...that is so sad. I am so sorry. You are right. We do take our life for granted. My deepest sympathy goes to you and his family. This reminds me of a guy who just recently hurt me so bad. I keep crying about it. This is so touching.

  • Hi Annemarie, I share your grief. My beautiful sunshine boy was shot and killed on 7 September 2008. Where I'm sitting here the tears are also running down my cheeks, so many unanswered questions. I miss my child so very much and it feels as if my heart breaks into a million pieces every time I think of him.

  • I'm always asking why you...I'm 17 and my fiancée was 20 he was murdered out of someone else's jealousy. Although someone took his life I'm always blaming myself. I'm having his baby soon, a little boy he would of loved him, he gave me a miracle, he always wanted us to share, how am I supposed to tell our baby son daddy isn't here. RIP baby boy joshie always keep us safe.

  • This poem really touched me, I could not stop crying, my fiancé was also murdered two weeks ago on May 13, 2012 on Mothers Day. He was gunned down while coming home from work, I ask myself that same question everyday, why him!!!! We where together for about two years, he was only 25 years old and my best friend!!!! We were supposed to grow old together and form a family together and all our dreams and hopes where stolen from us too!!! As the days pass I miss my Sammy more and more!!! I feel lost without him.... May God Help Us With This Pain!!!

  • Beautiful poem my fiancé, also the father of my daughter was murdered on Dec. 22nd 2012 only 3 days before Christmas 6 days before my step sons birthday outside of a club over nothing just guys trying to prove themselves. They shot him 5 times. He was my everything we were together for 9 years & I miss him more everyday. It hasn't gotten any easier and at times I don't think it will. The day he died a piece of me died with him. We love and miss you everyday babe.
    RIP "G"

  • I feel your pain, when I read this it's like I am reading one of mine that I wrote. My husband was murdered three year's ago I feel the same way. Way too soon and didn't get to say good bye the pain never goes away. Sorry for your loss keep your head up.
