An Empty Husk
Death drained my life of joy,
till my heart morphed into an empty husk.
And I cannot muster a single smile
from the many I've stored in memory;
to come to my aid in this time of grief.
An emptiness acknowledges the love I've lost.
There are no words that can describe my pain;
all fail to capture the anguish I'm feeling.
Half of me is suddenly missing,
and that half can never be replaced.
You were the foundation that supported me,
my love, my friend, my reason for living.
You allowed me to lean on you;
and never bent under the added weight.
There will never be another you.
You were unique! An angel in mortal guise!
A gentler soul never trod this Earth;
I was blessed to have loved you
and been loved by you.
Death can never take that feeling from me.
Nothing can keep us apart for long,
I will be joining you soon enough.
We are soulmates; indivisible and eternal!
Death is but an inconvenience
to two souls tethered to each other
by the ethereal bonds of love.
