ADD TO MY FAVORITES
they both have had to leave.
In heaviness, I’m left
here all alone to grieve.
Of course, I recognize
we all must go, depart,
but I am still forlorn.
Their leaving broke my heart.
I’m sorrowful, bereft
and simply sob and hide,
for there is no relief
for sadness deep inside.
They’re now so far away,
they’re never coming back.
And as the days go by,
I simply crumble, crack.
There’s only emptiness
since they are both now gone,
and there is no such thing
as simply moving on.
They’ve left a void so vast
that never can be filled.
My broken heart still weeps,
and it cannot be stilled.
Now all that’s left behind
is anguish, inner pain,
where mourning overwhelms
and only tears remain.
In agony beyond
what I can ever tell.
This grief has drained my soul,
and I am just a shell.
