Loss

I gave her a kiss

A kiss good-bye

Her spirit left

And went to the sky

 

Pale and white

Her body was so

Leaving me this

Deep, dark, black hole

 

Emptiness seeped

And crept in me

Hoping that death

Would also pick me

 

Wondering when

And wondering why

As I fell…

And started to cry

my friend This is so tender heart wrenching even. Oh the sadness of this picture. I have been in this place six times now and I am the survivor, Why I do not know but you my friend have reached that special place that remains with you forever. Electricblue
