When Someone You Love Is Taken

In a flash he is gone, No warnings, no signs, Memories flood my brain, How he walked, his personality, Remorse for the times I ignored him, Yelled at him, scorned him, pushed him away. Years remembered in seconds, His playfulness, his unique cry, It is hard to replace the love of family, Always being there, always comforting, always truthful, I just think of the ones that he left behind, Who will they talk to, who will they play with, When someone you love is taken, No goodbyes, no taking it back, no smiles. Tears filled my eyes as he was buried in the ground. He is gone, no more happiness, no more comfort, just emptiness.
