In the blink of an eyeA Poem by GeeWill be 3 years in August since Debs passed away.
In the blink of an eye three years have passed.
Life for those of us left behind to mourn your passing moves on, albeit with your memory ever present and the pain of missing you dulled but not gone. When we meet, we, the mourners cum celebrants, toast you, will always do so until we too are gone to become ghosts and memories remembered by clinking glasses and laughter filled stories. Your shoes, far to big to be filled by another, are now worn by his "companion" your polar opposite, an uninvited imposter who makes little or no effort to integrate thus alienating herself and at the same time, bit by bit, isolating him, removing him from "the friend group" which saddens, but not as much as him allowing this to happen. They, the ladies in the know, say he is lonely, cannot be on his own, needs company, but is what we perceive as bad company better than loneliness, I guess only he can answer that unasked question but never will as her "suitability"only ever discussed in their absence. We miss you, your smile, personality, infectious sense of fun, the way you filled a room, regaled all with drink sodden tales. We miss you greatly and perhaps if we continue to compare, even if subconsciously, no other will ever be allowed in. © 2024 GeeFeatured Review
