She's Gone !

My lovely little cousin died the other day , and it's until now that I could write something about her , I waited for my tears to calm down a little bit !

She's Gone

She’s gone in silence

And no one seemed to notice

The joy she felt inside

The pain she left behind

 

She’s gone so gently

Like a feather in the air

She flew away to a better place

Where she belongs

 

It seems like my sky is without stars

For you were my shining star

 

Your absence made more noise than your presence did

And I’ve never heard silence quite this loud

 

I don’t think I can look at your pictures for a while

Because they remind me of our happy times

And it’s tearing me apart !

 

I’m happy that you slept in peace

And dropped the burden you’ve been carrying for so long

But sad because I cannot sleep in peace

When I remember that tomorrow you would have already  gone  

 

Inspite of all my tears

I can see it so clear

That’s it’s hard to live without you dear

 

Now I’m leaving my tears in these words

So I can move on and be in a different world

… Than yours

hi jess. pain from losing someone will take time to be overcome by happiness. it won't be gone but i do believe that exposing yourself to things that will kinda lift your spirit will somehow make you smile again.

Jess, I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm glad you were able to take that pain, find its silver lining, and craft this sincere, heart-breaking poem. Though your tears bled through each word, I was overwhelmed by how you expressed the peace and comfort you found in her death. I was also amazed at the relatablility and cleverness of your lines, especially "And I've never heard a silence quite this loud."
My cousin also passed recently. A coulple of days before the funeral, someone said "Remember the impact she had on you, and try to leave that same impact on someone else in your life." People die, but thier impact lives on.

I'm sorry for your loss too :( Thank you for the kind and recomforting words . That person who told you that was absolutely right , and she had a wonderful impact on me :') . Indead I found peace and comfort in her death , because , you see , she was seriously ill, she was suffering during her whole life, and that's why her death was like a rest for her, her pure soul could finally get out of her weak and feeble body, and felw away , that's why I said " the joy she felt inside , the pain she left behind " and " i'm happy that you slept in peace and dropped the burden you've been carrying for so long " . And that's why my feeling were like scribbles , I didn't know If I should be happy for her rest or sad for losing her ... But now I know , I'm happy for her rest because I didn't really lose her , she's always here , with me , in my heart , in my mind :)
