Listen to poem:

To the One I Lost

We both cared so much, you completed me,
Evidently you were meant for me.
Love persisted to manifest
Although at the same time blessed,
Till infinite heaven
Called, and forgiven.         
I am driven                      
Belonging
Longing,
Tears.

Plead for closure of long years.
Prey as feathers picked off, death fret,
Like a scared bird, tangled in a net.
You completed me, I cannot forget.

I'm so sorry Evie. To lose a husband or a wife when the relationship is strong is unimaginable and a very strong and bitter pill to swallow. Be strong as you always are my friend and one day in the future you will meet again! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer..
