black nights reveal the stars 

silver lights in the sky 

I am without you now 

once only you and I 



you were my source of love 

a river never dries 

a stream of constant grief 

I miss our lows and highs 



my best friend in the world 

missing you will always hurt 

a faithful companion 

without you is the worst 




This poem was part of my English Literature and Creative Writing BA degree coursework. I was awarded a 2:1 in 2023. I am now studying for an MA in Creative Writing. I think the stories should be read, rather than collecting dust in my Mac. So, for fun, I’ve posted them in their original form, unedited and imperfect. Please feel free to share your thoughts below.

Oh, and some are autobiographical, can you guess which ones?

        Thank you George! Poetry is not my best work. It’s something I need to work on.
