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
