Gone

I can feel an emptiness where you used to be. A once full heart shattered and scattered in the wind. Will the pieces ever come back? Will I ever fill the void you ripped inside me when you left? How can it, how can my heart mend; It can't; It is false hope to think that someone who filled me with so much love can ever have a replacement... You can never be replaced; I'll never be whole again ... How can I find happiness without you there? You were my happily ever after and now you're gone. Gone where I can't follow; Gone and never coming back... Just gone. Fine is what I tell people when they ask me how I'm doing, Fine what a laugh... I've not been fine in months. Why did you have to leave so suddenly? I didn't get to say goodbye... I regret that more than anything; I didn't get to say goodbye....

The grief is palpable. The depth of the loss is striking with the abruptness in that the poet records "so suddenly...didn't say goodbye". It rips the heart out. It speaks to our deep soul connection to those we have lost. Thanks, Toni O.
