The Saddest Song
My starving heart, this Prince had fed-
He came, he sang, then swiftly fled
His words, a strong familiar place…
A foggy picture is his face
A love like none, my heart assured
Whatever pain, this Prince could cure
But now with him so truly gone
Alone, I sing the saddest song
Gone with him, he took my soul
A soul I gave, perfectly whole
He sought oceans amid the streams...
And left with me, a simple dream
But how does one become a lie;
From Dearest Heart, to passerby
A love I thought no one could know…
How could my heart betray me so?
I chased on end his mind convinced
I fought so hard to find this Prince
I ran so far, I gave so much-
My everything was not enough
So to my Prince, I bid farewell-
A tale of love, I shan’t retell…
From far away, I hum to him
The saddest song I’ll ever sing
With every tear I can’t deny
I wish all dreams with him goodbye
For only then, perhaps someday…
Another Prince may come my way.
Sometimes the toughest losses are among those who are still breathing, alive and well...just gone. Just, not a part of our lives anymore.
We have all had someone who took a piece of our hearts with them. The hardest part can be admitting how sad it feels to lose them, and how much they will be missed. Once we face this, however, we can make room for more good- whether that be in the form of new life adventures, better self-care and awareness and/or dare I say: someone new!
Commemorate an important part of your journey and give yourself closure, with this cathartic poem about letting go, and looking forward.
