While Still Living Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

With you gone from my life how am I expected
to go on or forget you?

Believe me, that will never happen, your love
is being treasured so dearly within this broken
and shattered heart.

My soul keeping it together just to hold you
close while I am still living.

Nothing in life matters anymore because you are
not with me now, somehow I am expected to eat,
drink, sleep and survive.

Not wanting to, yet having no alternative, here
I stay until God decides to give me to you when
dying from this empty world.
