Once your heartbeat was a part of mine
We were one.
Nature separated us as it should be
You were on your own.
Time once welcomed measuring
Your every move.
Candy coated kisses, I love yous
From tiny voices.
The first parting, just for a while
Then safely home.
One step away, then another
Finally you were gone.
Every day the enemy separating what
Was once whole.
Out of sight out of mind but never
Out of the heart.
Photographs and memories so very
Hard to hold.
Brief hellos then goodbye
Once again alone.
This then fate to be never filled
The hole in my heart.
