Fractured Soul

Shes sits in her worn out familiar chair As the sun wakes for the day Her being weary before the day begins From wishing her life away Nothing matters anymore Old now, completely bereft He’s been gone a few months Alone , nothing left They lost their only child As a beautiful young adult A lifetime of grieving Being the result It should never be that way Your child leaves earth before you Their profound,pure love for each other Is how they got through She sits motionless ,eyes closed Her mind consumed of days gone by Her whole being aches , tears fall She breathes one loud , last sigh

I am so choked up at the scene that i am at a loss what to say Deb, this is the most poignant piece of poetry I have read in a long while, a huge fave. i cant imagine the pain of losing a child , then a spouse and being so alone in this world. hugs jan xx
