Dear Edward

dear Edward,

we bow our heads to pray for you

My soul  feels immense pain.         

as the stars mourn your fall                

and the clouds gather at your demise,

my heart is breaking     

we are silently praying 

that God will take you home.

 Time passes by        

endless tears fall from my eyes      

through the fog i watch as they lay you into the ground       

my feet can barely move and my eyes can not believe what they see           

my heart quivers with grief            

while they pull me away              

I wonder where you are?           

I pray to God you are safe            

and watch from afar as they seal your grave

yours faithfully,

Vanessa.

This is undoubtedly one of the most impacting poems I’ve read in ages. The emotions expressed in the piece are those which my heart couldn’t ignore. I cannot say I feel the grief to the extent at which you endured it, but I can say that I felt part of it. The poem is universally relatable, unfeigned and spiritual. It deserves acclaim.

Memorable read.
