She's Gone Forever

Every atom of me love her
Every atom of me miss her
Every atom of me need her
But she's gone 
Away out of my hand
Away out of my sight 
Away out of my beyond 
She's gone forever 
She's at peace
She's in Heaven
She's with God 
She's gone
Physically 
Mentally 
Emotionally 
She was my everything
She was my best friend 
She was my great granny
But She's gone forever 
Every atom of me love her
Every atom of me miss her 
Every atom of me need her
But she's gone
I know I must go on
I know I must be strong 
I know I must let her be
So I let her never leave my heart
So I let her memories comfort me
So I let her absence be part of me
Because every atom of me just need something 
to cling on to whilst she's gone away forever... Smile!

Dear beautiful soul, i can feel you through your words here expressed seamlessly. These are exactly the thoughts that run through our head when we go through loss. Sigh im so sorry for your loss and im sure she is proud of all that u are. A shining star watching over you. Sending you love and light always

This poem touched me very much. Well written and thoughts expressed with much feelings. Hope you heal with time. One month ago I lost my mom. Cheer up and many hugs. Rainbow.
