Beyond this world Beyond this life There is no war, No pain, no strife Where mysteries Are all revealed And pains from this life All are healed A place where voiceless Learn to talk And those in wheelchairs Learn to walk Tho' from this life Our loved one passed She's in God's hands She's home at last In happiness She'll always be 'Til she is joined By you and me
Dearest one, I loved you But you'll never, ever know That in giving you my body I gave to you my soul An ex-boyfriend told you stories Of a girl so wild and free But what he never told you Is that woman wasn't me I would ne'er given my body Without feeling love inside But my rumored reputation Cost me so much more than pride You took the love I offered Then smiled and waved a hand You said you had a new love And you knew I'd understand And so you left, my darling Flew away like snow white dove You knew nothing of my deep pain Or my last, undying love I tried to find a new love Went around with someone new But each night, when I close my eyes My heart still dreams of you Dearest one, I loved you But you'll never, ever know That in giving you my body I gave to you my soul(The above poem was written as an assignment
for a creative writing class in college.
It is NOT completely autobiographical,
but DOES refer to a real ex in the second stanza.)

"Sea Gods" by Boris Vallejo
Don't leave me, love For then I should pain And sunshine would die 'Neath a torrent of rain Don't leave me, love For if you should go Flowers would be lost 'Neath a blanket of snow Don't leave me, love For then I should die My soul would be bound No longer to fly Don't leave me, love For if we should part There'd be hollow space Where once was my heart
