Loss

(A lone voice whispers, crying into a silent night as a white candle burns)

I still miss you like seeing a yellow butterfly in the rain

This new pain may be indescribable, but to me, it's palatable 

For without this indescribable pain

In time, 
I'm afraid

I'll slowly forget losing you

A question.

Do you really want time to soften the blow of losing the love of your life?
