Tragic Shakespeare

by Jennifer Colyer

Shakespeare once wrote
Parting is such sweet sorrow
After months without you
There is nothing
Sweet in sorrow

Every time
I hear your name
You float into my dreams
I realize then
How heartbroken I am

Each day continues on
Each day I miss you more
Each day I see more
How heart broken I am

Every day I cry
Missing you more
Each day gets harder
Harder to live without you

You are my world
You are my life
You are my hope

Parting is not
as Shakespeare wrote
A sweet sorrow
Rather it is pain
filled with heartbreak

You are my love
Yet it is but a dream
To win your heart again.....
