Bereft

Bereft

Was it only yesterday
That you and I sat here
We shared a joke
You softly spoke
Sweet words for me to hear

Was it only yesterday
Your love was all around
A tender kiss
A warm caress
Forever to be found

Was it only yesterday
For me your sweetest smile
Last kiss you gave
A final wave
Gone only for a while

Was it only yesterday
Strange faces at the door
A tale of Death
A heart bereft
A love that was no more

So cold and bitter bleak today
No hope, no comfort there
A sole that weeps
A sorrow deep
A pit of black despair
