Loss

by Christine Mangosing - Scorpio

Like a pleading voice is carried away by the wind-
I have lost you. 
Silent cries echo back to me
never having reached your ears.
Desperate tears pour down my face
to no avail-you are gone.
It took all my strength
to capture your heart,
I used all my might 
to embrace your soul,
I laid myself on the line time and again
for your sake alone-and still...
it was not enough to hold you down.
Still..
You would not stay.
You have gone and I cannot follow
and though I would wait for you forever
You have already left me so far behind.
Though I cry out to you
my voice is carried off by the wind
and just like that-
I have lost you.

Reason for writing:

    Partly inspired by a overwhelmingly depressing movie and 
partly, my own feelings at the time.
