    15 years...

    15 years since ive seen your face
    how much longer will it take
    for me to forget that day
    and erase all of the pain


    a day filled tears
    for reasons still unclear
    sadness thats lasted years
    sorrow that wont disappear

     

    a lifetime since ive seen that grin
    id give anything to see again
    an emptiness radiates within
    and settles just below the skin

     

    an eternity since ive heard you laugh
    so much painful time has passed
    seems like time has gone so fast
    15 years since the day you past

    12 years ago my father passed, 20 years since my mom and the list goes on and on... I have written several poems on this subject and poets will forever write of it, till death is no more. Well done....

    thank you olan... death may be the only thing that all poets have in common and i might suspect that nearly all of the poets here on op have at least one poem posted about death...

    Time can erase alot... but never the loss of a loved one. All we can hope is that he's at peace wherever he may be ♥
