A Mourning Heart







Dressed in all black




She felt darker than she looked





Nothing left but memories




Because her husband’s life was took





Laying down on his grave




She was just wishing that he were here





A strong love they had




Then she started to sadly drop her tears





She’s mourning because




She can’t believe he’s not here anymore





Didn’t leave peacefully




He lost his life to the tragic Vietnam War





Overwhelmed with sorrow




Her poor little heart was dried up from grief





Laying down thinking




When will it be our time to again meet?





Even though he’s gone away





Even though he’s not alive





She’ll go on and be strong






Because true love







Never dies.

I wrote this piece based on a picture that I saw in a magazine. My goal for this poem was to be descriptive as possible and try my best to describe the picture in words that way my audience would be able to paint an image in their heads of the same picture that I saw.
