Don't Know How

Listen to poem:

How do I begin to imagine my life without you when you’ve been part of my every moment every breath an extension of my heart my very body How do I begin to imagine my life with half of me gone amputated wandering aimlessly without a compass nowhere to go lost in a world without you How do I begin to imagine my life when the sun refuses to rise and the moon hides behind clouds rain falling nonstop day and night How do I begin AP: Honorable Mention 2022, Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on August 24, 2020 (thought I had posted earlier)

I have no idea, and nothing to base this on. This feeling must be so overwhelming, there is no word to describe it, and yet, you have described it in this beautiful write, Line. Well done!
