You Need To Know That I Need You More

Come to me from the grave.
Cure my heartbroken self.
Listen to my mortal cries.
Embrace me in the night.  

It was the day when I lost you.
I stood in misery and felt the wounds.
Everything spun to nothing.
The day you left, I died.  

May the gods save me here.
Other than loving you,
I’ve nothing to love.
And this unloved, I’ve died.  

I won’t see, nor hear you.
The day you left, I died.
And dying is seeing no tomorrow.
You need to know that I need you more.

  16. The emotional upsurge when the love one is lost is really very upsetting. It upsets the entire life cycle. The emotional depictions in the above poem is really great.
