Loud Silence

https://youtu.be/pUlX8ltm_JU

Getting back on my own two feet

Hard to do

As without him

It's just gloom

He was my savior

My glue

Protecter of all

No exclusion

As with him

It was peace

He is gone

Living peacefully

But here on earth

It hurts

To think of him

To reminisce

In the memories

Just wishing for him to come back

To come in open arms

Telling me it's okay

That he's back

It hurts to think

It hurts to say

There's emptiness 

And silence

Very loud silence

I wondered if it was your boyfriend or brother or father who passed when first reading this. I then saw your reply below.

If we're lucky, a father is the glue that holds a family together. He takes care of his family any way he knows how. I'm sorry for your loss. You express yourself well in this moving poem.

Thank you for the nice review.

This is a poem clearly expressing the pain of losing a dear loved one.

May The Creator give you strength to carry on living your life with love and great purpose.

WELL DONE

Even in the silent moments our memories can be clearly heard echoing in our hearts, for the person of our attentions! Poignant and poetic piece - an easy to relate to write! :-)

Thank you for the nice review :)

A heartbreaking poem, Lauren. I feel your sadness and longing in every word. You have a gift for putting your emotions into lines.

"He is gone
Living peacefully
But here on earth" - These lines struck me. Even though we break up with someone, they're still around us. There's no escape sometimes and you've illustrated that very brilliantly with these lines.

Thank you for the nice review. However I didn't break up with someone, it was written because I am trying to cope with my father's passing.

[Michael (Letters and Lifelines)]

Oh I am very sorry to hear that. I just interpreted as a break up when I read it, but I see now what you were talking about.

[Lauren_The_Awesome]

It's okay. Thank you.
