Coping with Lost

A poem written for someone I love who lost someone dear to him. Letting him know that someone was there that at least understood to a degree what he was feeling.

COPING WITH  LOST

 We all lose someone we love

Whether if it is a passage of time, it was the best thing or in death

It is very difficult to lose your love

You are shattered to pieces

How do you pick up the slivers of that love

That you only see as way too much to deal with

Asking why can't I move

Why can't I stop crying

When will I start being

I am running on empty

People need me

My child needs me

I want to stop and bury myself

Does anyone understand that I want to be selfish

I just want to be alone for awhile

I want/need to go to the depth of darkness

That is possibly the only way I can come out of the sadness

To be able to piece together the slivers of my life without you

You were what made my life even better

How could you leave me in body and soul

I miss your warmth

I miss the feel of your touch

I make love to you in my dreams

But you left me

To deal with life on my own

I know in my heart it is not that you wanted to leave

I am just mad that it happened

Life has other things, I guess, for me to do

I am very sad with the lost of you

I will pick up the slivers in my own time

Always remembering the love that I had for you
