Since you left

Since you left By Christopher Ross Livingstone 

Since you eft 

A sudden moment in time

A life taken so short 

The world felt so different 

Spaces and places 

Sensing and feeling

Shocki and swelling 

Grappling grief 

Taking me through the stages 

When you left 

The unimaginable happened

My world was different 

The spaces and places 

Inward I felt the days in reflection

Echoes from the nurtured memories

Warmed my heart 

Although feeling a loss like you

And when you left

Different my spaces and places became 

People and interactions 

I questioned the deep rooted 

Overnight and the time since you parted

My senses to belonging changed 

Inside I felt alone at a space I once called home

I know you left

Fading in and out 

Sensitive I felt 

Craving nurture and a space to call home

To hear your voice one more time 

I miss those days 

But one day at a a time

Healing will seed

Take root it will bloom

Athough you left

Seems like yesterday

Reflections from head to heart

Leave me feeling nurtured and loved

Your love still remains
