Hi Ann, like you I also lost my soulmate, I still feel her presence today, I do believe they are looking over us, God bless you.
My classmate passed away last month in a accident. He was only 15 years old, same age as me. Nobody understands me and my friends get annoyed at me when I talk about him. Nobody understands the hurt I feel and my heart cries every day for him but I cannot cry because I have no tears left. I will never forget him and I can't tell anyone that I loved him so much. I never realized that I loved him until now that he is gone. He was so kind to everybody. and now he's gone. Nobody understands me, and I don't know what to do, because I am very depressed and I don't think anyone in my family realizes it. I just have to walk around, pretending that everything is ok and I'm fine, but I'm not. I'm so broken inside. I feel so weak because I can't fight against my depression. I've had it since I was 8 and it's just getting worse. But I don't dare tell anyone because they will think that I've gone crazy, because nobody knows what my real self is. They think I am the happiest person in the world.
This is a beautifully written piece with a profound message. Best wishes, J.C.E.
I lost my wife in 2015 unexpectedly. She lingered for a week and then I had to make a hard decision. It is really an indescribable feeling and I have never found a word suitable to describe it. Nothing is the same after, even the most fundamental daily activities can seem pointless. Your poem captures some of these feelings in me very well.

Thanks again Ann for your lovely comment. I'm glad it made you smile. It was originally meant as a death poem and I changed some words at the end of it - it still is really but in a joyous way as I see it. I read it as a reading for a friend who's dad passed recently he was a fisherman and boater in the Rockaways here in NY. I read it the way I originally wrote it. And they loved it.
This is very beautiful, I am not sure of its real meaning though? I see it as a death and rebirth into heaven?
Oh Sylvia, your comments mean so much. You have such deep understanding of what I was trying to convey. Thank you so much.
Outstanding work Ann. So much can be taken from this. After losing loved ones, one of the toughest things to do is revisit old surroundings. I have yet gained the courage to do so, some day I will. Your poetry expresses all stages one goes threw, in times of grief, and is helpful to so many.
Trust me i know what you a passing through.
Try to be strong dear
