All of Me (Poem)



All of Me

With all that I am
With all that I feel
Everything that I gave to you
Was far too real

I miss your sweet touch
I long for the kiss of your lips
The sound of your voice
Oh, how sweet it is

The look in your eyes
The gentle wave of your hair
The sound of your name
How it makes my heart stir

The way that you would hold me
Your arms wrapping around so tight
Through the thick and thin
It would make me feel so right

How I wish that I could go back in time
I would stop it all from happening
Our hearts would be spared
And I wouldn’t feel like I’m dying

I sit here writing and I hear your voice in my head
It sounds so perfect and clear
I want it to stop
So I cover my ears

It doesn’t help one bit
I knew that it wouldn’t
I want to hug you
But force myself: I just couldn’t

I thought that our love was special
That it would always last
People said you wouldn’t change
And I was sorry that I asked

There was so much that I wanted to do
So much that I wanted to see
I know it will never happen
And OH, how that saddens me

I lay down at night and let the world fall away
For the last time I think of your name
I close my eyes in sleep
Then my breath is gone but my heart still feels the same
