Loss

A sense of loss is a terrible feeling,
it leaves a hallow pit in one's stomache,
feelings of hoplessness daunts the spirit,
Loss, most people don't want to know it
and many run from it,
Loss means that there has to be a new beginning,
when the tables are turned around,
and the promise of winning becomes intoxicating,
Then loss would have been a passage paid for better things
to come.......

enjoyed very sad, though we all have losses in our lives that are still raw, I think.

how so often we deny it... the 5th line is true how you said many run from it... people don't know how to deal with such things.
