Loss of a Loved One

The loss of a loved one Is like the loss of a part of us We feel so dry we won't be move We cry so loud, we won’t be heard, But all of this won’t bring them back. We can try so much to cope with it We bottle them up, till we crack. They eat us up like ulcer We feel so cold as though we are numb. But all of this won’t bring them back. We can hide behind this and feel terrible We hurt all those that come so close We cry and yell and feel unloved. We try in vain to forget our world. But all of this won’t bring them back. In the midst of this we will lose something That one we lost can cause us more But if we free our mind and hold ourselves A great lesson we will learn That one we lost, many we will gain. Yet, all of this won’t bring them back. If you lose someone, or lost something Don’t neglect those you have around. If you get cold and drift away You will feel bad and still feel hurt. But all of these won’t bring them back. poem written by Kolawole Ogunfowokan Originally mine
