Losing You

Out of the darkness of
absence came shadows
of never, and the heart
became silent to walk
that void forever.

The denseness of my
emptiness chokes my
very soul. The scent
of love has departed,
leaving a gaping hole.

They say that time is
a healer, but memories
linger so. And the heart
it carries the hurt, the
hurt of letting go.

There is intense pain that accompanies the void left when we lose someone we love. Very beautifully conveyed message, Daniel. Most people can relate to these feelings. Love, Carolyn
