Sunlite Wanter Poet Narrative

If Only

If Only

A car, though old, is wrecked in the driveway.
A light in it, stuck.
A car though old, belonged to a sister-gone.
Do cars have eyes, I know they are persons.
And I, I cry for it, for my long go sister,
She is at peace, her car is at peace, its heart calls her.
I have searing tears.
I cannot have another sister.
I cannot have another car
I f only, if only…..
Yes, of course, I love her more.
I ramble, I see her at the door.
I love her …….
I hate metal rattling things,
If only, If only…….

Heidi Sands February 2, 2020 at 5:00 PM So well expressed! This is exactly how it can feel and also how things can remind of us such deep loss. Take care Sunlite :)

Vijay Pandit February 2, 2020 at 2:03 PM This flows so deeply in emotions and tugs the heart. Grief lingers in places and things forever--when loved ones part!

Sandra Adams February 2, 2020 at 1:23 PM beautiful and poignant... we can never replace people or things gone from life... not totally... we can try to fill the voids with like things but can never exactly replace them... hugs (soup mail)
