Loss

You cannot really write loss, you cannot really read loss. you can only feel it.

This silence
it is permanent
words speak
without comment

For who can
understand
the sorrow
of a soul.

Who can punctuate
tears as they
roll.

Ink cannot hear
the echo,
nor capture
the ache for breath.

One can only
feel,
in the aftermath
of death.

A truth is spoken upon this page, simply, profoundly and without glitz or glamor. Have experienced that feeling so near, I feel this piece deeply.

Beautifully penned!
