Echoes of You

I saw your baby girl today
Playing in the park
With her sparkling eyes
And dimpling smile
An echo of you
The pain surging through me
Cruelly reminded me
How far away I am
From being over you

Dead Night

I woke up
Alone and cold
With the torment
Of your eyes
Appealing to my
Unguarded senses
No escape
Even in the dead
Of the night

Abyss

Your scent lingers as
The memory of your
Touch teases me
Once there was a
You and me—
Us
Now there is only
An abyss

Eternal Home

My heart feels heavy
For lives that can be taken
So easily
My heart feels the pain
Questioning why we are born
Only to die alone
I question, I ask, I pray
And the only whisper I receive
Is to trust not in this world
But in an eternal one to come

Farewell, Coco

Our bunny’s dead
We cannot bear
The pain within our chest

We do not know
What caused his hurt
Or why he had to go

He was alive
And now he’s gone
Breathed his final breath

We love you, Coco
We wish you didn’t go!

Fall’s Cold Bite

Cup of hot tea with lemon dressed in knitted warm winter scarf o

Fall is in the air
The cold is biting my skin
The day is dark
Sun’s bright light is dimmed
And I know it is just around the corner
When I will be taken back
Back to that time of my life
To that knock on the door
Telling me
Oh, telling me
So cruelly
That my loved one
Is no more

Desperation

Young beautiful woman with depression

at what point does one not give up?
at what point does one persevere?
because I am out of ideas
I am out of kind requests
the path is unclear
I do not know
which way I
should
go

Desolation

image

All is barren
Lost in the wilderness
I try and find my way to the light
But all I find is a stone

Sudden Death

Candles

I heard my
Mother’s voice
During the week
Of an April past.
On the weekend
She was gone,
That is how
Very sudden
Death can be.

Raindrops

image

I draw open the curtains
While the rain falls its drops
Filling the hollow of my soul
With water so fresh and so pure
That I never want the clouds above
To stop their sorrow at all
