You were my life, my whole life

No More Time To Give

My life is silent since you went away

I can no longer find the will to live,

Each day insists I find more time

And yet I’ve no more time to give.

***

At night I sit and stare up at the stars

As I’m not really sure what else to do,

I don’t seem to be able to care anymore

All I think about are my memories of you.

***

People tell me I need to get out more

And I find that I do totally agree,

Yet I ignore their constant begging

And take less notice of their pleas.

***

You were my life, my whole life

There was nothing more I need,

I was so very happy with you

And convinced that you agreed.

***

It was only you that held my love

I wanted no other, that was true,

But you’ve left my heart in tatters

And taken all my love with you.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
