Walk Beside Me
Walk beside me hold my hand
Lead me to the promised land
Walk beside me be my guide
Take me to the other side
Walk beside me
now and forevermore
You're the one that I adore
I had a little thing called love
It shined on me from above
Then you came and made my day
Lost for words what can I say
I was crying in misery town
Then you laid your loving down
Took me under your wing
Oh what joy you bring
The days with you were pure
I was doubtful you made me sure
The nights were filled with passion
In a sexy raunchy fashion
Pleasure was always on the menu
You and me an ideal venue
I thought forever we would last
But tragedy it came fast
Now I sit here on my own
In a house that's not a home
Thinking about the times we had
Always good and never bad
If there is a god I don't believe
As I break down and grieve
I look up to the heavenly sky
Why did you have to die
Walk beside me hold my hand
Lead Me to the promised land
Walk beside me be my guide
Take me to the other side
Walk beside me
now and forevermore
You're the one that I adore

Tom,
Your poem is incredibly powerful in its portrayal of love, loss, and grief. The way you express the speaker’s yearning for the loved one, and the aching void left behind, is deeply moving. The raw emotion you’ve captured—especially in the lines about questioning faith and longing for reunion—spoke to me on a profound level. It’s a reminder of the deep pain that comes with love and loss. Your words will undoubtedly resonate with anyone who has experienced such heartache, too.
Thank you for sharing such a personal and heartbreaking reflection,
take care,
regards,
Rolph
