Haiku On My Family, Tears Are Not Enough

Haiku On MY Family, Tears Are Not Enough

Tears are not enough
Your death became my last breath
Lost all my siblings

In yesterdays crash
they say texting while driving
caused your untimely

death, now I survive
no family left in life
Tears are not enough

I've got an empty
whole in my heart for you all
Sitting at your graves.

WOW!! How so deep and forlorn this must feel, especially if it is real or fiction.
