Silence

Seething pain it causes
Indelible marks of questions
unanswered
Lacerations of separation and
loneliness
Emanating from endless questions of
‘why’ and ‘how’
Nights and days are rendered
disconsolate
Coupled with despondence, depression
and melancholy
Endurance is but, all that the
affected has…….

Thought of loss can dominate the mind, eh. Like your ending, no yearning can be completed. This is what I get. Right? Congrats, daver

Thanks Daver dear for reading me and commenting so generously :) :) Silence can cause such a deep chasm especially from the loss of a loved one. You put it so well. Regards!
