Loss

A four letter word
How insignificant a thing.

A four letter word
How terribly unworthy.

A four letter word
How deeply it burrows.

A four letter word
How can it be so hurtful?

Its just a four letter word.
Nothing more.
Nothing meaningful.

A four letter word
It cannot be more truthful.

A four letter word
So much more.
So very meaningful.
