Loosing your man

No-one quite understands what loosing your man is like
its worse than falling off and breaking your long saved for new bike.
It leaves you feeling lonely when you have friends around
it leaves you listening on a night for every little sound
just longing for that special one who
always cared and said he loved you.

people say you'll find another
but no-one can replace your one true lover
that's the one with whom you are meant to be
and no other one can live up to he
you try and carry on the best you can
but all the time you're longing for your man

It leaves a hole within your heart
which nothing can fill whilst your apart
there is a tunnel but there is no light
just a hurt deep inside both day and night
that hurt will pass people say without knowing
when in fact it just keeps on growing and growing

nothing seems quite as it should
that hole is there it's there for good
the world goes on though your world's ended
that hole in your heart will never be mended
no matter what you try to do
that hurt is there a haunting you

five or ten years down the line
just when you think you're doing fine
something will remind you of your love that's gone
it may be a photo, a saying, a song
then suddenly all the hurt comes back
and for a while your world turns black

you pick yourself up and carry on again
but deep inside that hurt remains
locked away until you die
and are reunited with your lover in the sky
but till the time you're laid to rest
you just have to carry on and do your best.

wrote years after loosing my man, totally based on experience

I lost my man over forty years ago
and this spring the emptiness
came back like your wrote about.

I'm sorry, so sorry yellowted, that you lost your man.
But lynn_p was sweet & right to point out he was a good one!
So was mine. Bless your heart, here's to our good men.

Thank you for that yellowted. That poem said what I feel. I lost my husband over 11 years ago, and what you wrote says exactly how I feel about him. I don't think I'll EVER get over losing him.

Again, thank you. I appreciate your sharing that with us. God bless. Hugs, Lee

I don't think we ever get over the loss of a good man, like roadie has proven, forty years later the emptiness still hits you at times. All we can do is be gentle with ourselves when it does and accept it is part of the package of loving and loosing a good man, then pick ourselves up and carry on in the knowledge we will be together again one day.

come join us in raising a glass to our good men wherever they may be
hugs
