You Complete Me
My eyes look for you
My heart bleeds the truth
My spirit enters your soul completely
My body has gone into deep hibernation
feeling numb since the day you passed
My heart now frozen, devoid of love
now overflows with despair
How does it go on beating
for you are no longer here
Each day I search the sky above
for our special rainbow
where we vowed to meet
but the skies are grey and cloudy
like my cloudy mind in my cloudy head
Children’s laughter permeates the air
Birds still sing at dawn
How dare the world keep going
for they must know you have gone
Floating through life in a bubble
I am consumed with grief
for it gobbles me up
But slowly time is gently healing as
my heart and soul begin to unfurl
Seeing the light and the colours again
gives me strength to carry on
I feel your presence within me
when at night your love envelopes my soul
like a beautiful quilt so cosy and warm
as you wrap your love around me
my darling you complete me

I found this such an emotional write because it came from my heart and was written about the loss of my husband who died in 2008. I took many years to get through my grief, but slowly it lifted and now I find that writing poetry is so cathartic and restorative and feel this poem is worthy of a Gold Cup.
