She’s Gone But Left Her Love

Though she is gone

She’s not forgotten

Dearly departed

But deep in my heart

She’s gone but

Left her love

Plans derailed 

At times I feel like I failed

To be present

With the gift of her love

Now she shares her love

From so far above

A partnership disbanded 

Parenting single-handed

Sadness in separation 

Madness with desperation

She’s gone

But left her love

A shell of a man

Missing a helluva woman

Daunted by the empty space

Haunted by her beautiful face

She’s gone

But left her love

We built a family

We built a business

I lost that family

I battle for that business

She’s gone 

But left her love

Helplessness setting in

Hard to know what to begin

Can all be ended so abruptly 

Tears running uncontrollably 

She’s gone

But left her love
