Loving John
The sun darkens in a total
eclipse.
The clouds overtake the sky.
Darkness at mid-day.
My world is dissolved
before my eyes.

An awesome grief floods my soul.
I am smothered in sadness.
My soul cries out in despair
"My love, my love,
You have deserted me."

The love I trusted
The love of my life
My reason for living
You have gone, you have gone.

No, I can't accept it.
No, I won't accept it.
I can't believe it.
I won't believe it.
Yet I wake in the night
and reality faces me -
You are gone!

How I have searched through
the reasoning of my mind
But still, after all paths are
retraced time after time,
I can only wonder.
Why? Why?

Thoughts of things past -
pure delight, pure happiness,
are always there -
A part of me.
Why I loved -
Your goodness, your love haunt me.

But like a ghostly apparition in the
shadows they only appear for a moment,
to be ushered away by the cruel
darkness you have become.
Why? Why?

I gave all to you.
Did you know how much I cared?
Where was my error?
Were not the words of love on my lips
always?

How could you know the vastness of
my love?
Could you see my soul?
My love gushed forth in great abundance
through the mirrors of my soul - my eyes.

Tears, unrestrained, flowed because of
the exceeding love I felt for you.
Did you feel my heart swell in fullness
of love for you?

Did my eyes weap - for the joy of loving you?
Oh yes! A love so deep, so pure, so true,
flowing to my eyes - my love for you.
A heart so full it couldn't contain itself.
Never has a human heart beat in love
as mine has for you.

Memories -
All that's left.
No one can take them.
No one can separate them from me.

Now - clouds gather -
Reality again,
Harsh, cruel reality.
Then - sadness.

What is left? A deep void, a gaping hole,
an open wound.
Injury that will never heal.
Your injury.

You are there -
Memories of your love,
A love that turned me out, left me alone.
Alone.

The world without you - a horrible place!
Sadness presses down upon me,
It cannot be held back
It is inevitable, as certain as night comes,
it will not stop
There seems to be no relief.

Yet, there is a Light.
There is a Light that will never fade.
I run to the Light.
I need the Light.

The Light is love -
A greater love -
A love even greater than our love,
Thousands upon thousands of times greater.

It is the love of God.
It is the love of Christ.
The Son shineth!

There has never been, nor ever will be,
a love this profound between mortal men.
This is God's love.
Uncomprehendable.
Unsurpassed.
Miraculous.

Feeling drawn by this indescribable love,
I must put my soul, my all, in His hands.
He cares.
He'll never leave me.

I have found the ultimate in love -
I have found Someone who loves me
even more than I loved you.

I go to Him for His love.
Peace!
Finally - sweet, sweet peace.
