I miss her
I miss her in the morning
Slipping quietly from our bed
I miss her gentle touches
And the tender words she said
I miss her in the evening
When we’d relax and watch TV
I miss the pain I often felt
Which she’d kiss away for me
I miss her in the night time
When I am cold and on my own
And all her warm affection
I miss now she is gone
I miss her in the winter
When the sky is overcast
Snowflakes tumble to the ground
To hide the broken past
I miss her in my faint heart
Which weeps forever in the dark
Standing bare in solitude
A tree in an empty park
I miss her in the knowledge
She left because I am so flawed
Alone now like a pebble
On a lonely beach untrod

This truly touched my heart. I felt love and sadness. You made me all misty eyed. I second everyone else, as when I was done reading it, the first thing that I said to myself,’best piece ever.’

What a beautifully sad poem. I was thinking she had died but then you tell us that she left you and you think it is your own fault. She has left a beautiful elephant alone….. 🙂

Oh, MyBeautifulFriend, it is just a poem from a long and chequered life, not to be taken too much to heart.
And what sane lady can ever tolerate AnElephant’s peripatetic lifestyle, where every day is a new adventure?
