Haunted by her loveliness
His heart held but heaviness
The woman of his dreams
He’d love since they were teens
Had drifted away, stared vacantly
Yet he lay by her side silently
Still captivated by unending love
This woman, his morning dove
With whom adventures shared
Nothing else simply compared
She may not know he was there
Her mind on escapades shared
Shining brightly, undiminished
Until his days on earth were finished
Your Daily Word Prompt – Haunted – October 10, 2018
Beautifully worded. How sad, though.
Thank you and yes it was. It was about a man who visited his wife and lay on the hospital bed beside her though she had no memory of him, yet daily, he stayed by her side. When asked why, when she didn’t remember him, his answer was “I remember her!”
That’s heartbreaking. I thought it was about lovers who grew apart, but this story of yours is just so much more.
Thank you. It touched my heart when I read the write up. It’s stuck with me ever since, for some reason, I had to write about it today, and this is at least 2 years since I saw it.
