I'm sitting on the porch,
Wind blowing through my hair.
The ducks are frolicking in the pond,
But I just can't seem to care.
Life goes on around me.
I don't participate.
I go through all the motions,
But what I really do is wait.
I dream about the day
That you'll come home to me.
Nothing else is important.
Why can't people see?
I don't want to go out.
I don't want to have fun.
I don't want to do a thing
Until all is said and done.
They took you in the summer.
Now fall is almost finished.
Winter will be here very soon,
And then the year will have diminished.
You have no idea how much I cry.
I never let you know.
It's so hard out here without you,
But I'm not allowed to let it show.
I must pretend all is fine.
Everyone thinks all's okay,
But what I never ever tell them
Is that I cry for you every day.
Poem Of Loneliness And Longing
Wow, this poem is how I end almost every letter to my husband. They took him the beginning of summer also. Our daughter was 6 months old, and today she turned 1 year, and he missed it. I cry...
I Cry

Hang in there Kayla. I'm not sure what you mean your man left you or if he has passed away. I have no children on my own. But I want children. I was alone the 30 first years of my life. I was longing for love and a meaning in life. Slowly dying. Then I met a sweet, warm hearted girl. We lived together for 10 years. Now she has left me. About one and a half year ago. And I am back where I started. She lives only a stone's throw away from me. Words can't describe how much I miss her. We used to hold hands when we closed our eyes in bed and fell to sleep. Now her hand is here no more. We still see each other. Hopefully she will come back, one day. I understand how it is to love someone. And to miss someone. Don't give up, Kayla. There are people who feels with you :) Sincerely, Reidar from Lofoten, Norway.
