Can one be happy after this?
I feel so lost with out you
I wake in the morning to find you had gone
I looked every where, even sang your favorite song
Just to hear you giggle and laugh as we you used to do
But alas my darling although I tried, I couldn’t find you
I walked the empty streets at night just as we used to
In the hope of catching just a tiny glimpse of you
But no where were you to be found in this lonely place
I sit on the floor so cold with the wind and tears in my face
Four hours I sat at home with my thoughts just waiting
To hear once again the gate do it’s grind and grating
But the sound never came although my ear’s strained hard
My body shook as I fell into tears at my broken heart
But then I remembered you were never coming back
I followed your coffin along that long solitary weary track
I sadly laid you to rest alone in that dark hallowed ground
Crying along with the all the people that stood around
I walked in the morning to that lonely and secluded place
I stood remembering you, a woman with air and grace
How I long to have you standing with me out from the dirty hole
I wasn’t with you for your last dying breath, so you I could hold
But your last breath was many miles away from me
You left me torn, shattered with tears and hurt as you can see
I lay upon the wet grassy floor just to feel closer to you
A gun to my head pull the trigger quick now I always be with you

I have remitted this piece of work because some tiny little wart complained that there was no question. To you I say, poetry does necessary have a question, it is a piece of thought provoking piece of art. Did Shakespeare always have a question added to his work, have you seen other poets add questions to their work, the answer is no, as there is no question as such, it's what you feel not what you have inside to ask yourself your own question to answer
Re type last line, "it's what you have in side that creates it's own question

This is a good poem. It rhymed, has the same amount of lines per verse and I could follow it through.
I like happy poems but most of your really good poems are sad for some reason. I wished you had not shot yourself in the last sentence but remembered all the good times you had together.
I like the sentence "I lay upon the wet grassy floor just to feel closer to you" but instead of pulling the trigger, I wish you would have said "and as I lay there I was remembering your air and grace".
Just a thought!!!

Very sad but, at the same time awesome poetry!
Of course one can be happy after a loss. A good thing to remember is that your loved one would never want you to hurt and suffer. You are taking your life in vain and wasting it if you dwell on the hurt for too long. Go out there and find happiness. Live your life to the fullest for your loved one never got to.

Its deep man, deep, but why blow your brains out.
I rememeber your scent
that pungent sweet smell
The way that you smiled
I remember it well
And here in my dreams
as I hump some cheap Tart
Its as if we were never
forced by death to part.
