I wrote this poem in the memory of the people that I have lost in recent years.
I wrote this from their point of view.
As I saw the tear disappear down your face
I realized at once
I was going, going
Gone
As I felt the warmth leave my body
Like a leak in my soul,
Slipping away, away from my grasp
I was going, going
Gone
Feeling your breathe
Feeling your hold
Is fading, fading
Please don't leave me
Gone
Distant voices I can’t hear you
Why can’t you hear me
Don’t go, don’t go
Gone
Floating away
Feel no pain
Peace at last
I now say good bye
I love you and I will miss you
Going Going
Gone
I realise that I live in your
heart and your memories
and it then I realise that although I've gone.
I still live on
In you.
Gone
