Departed…… Rain weeps for the departed Tears steam down like rain from the clouds. The pain consumes me From seeing the departed taken from me. The wind howls The moon glows. The night is darker And the memories flood my head. My soul is sad My eyes hurt From all the tears I shed for my dearly departed. The ghost of the past haunts me The ghost of the present torment me. This web of pain and tears Are a stab to my heart. Oh, my departed How much more pain can I take. The memories of yesterday are long gone. The departed has left a hole in my heart. “My love “ , I whisper to the wind “When will we meet again” I plead To the soul of my departed love ,who is beneath me. ©️Poetry by Jasmine ®️2024
