Premium Member Grief of Losing a Life Partner-Potd
It is important we know this eternal truth,
that our earthly lives may be linked but not our deaths!
you may have special memories from early youth,
but one has to watch the other take the last breath!

you will for sure shed tears of separation, grief,
fear future prospect...

After Losing a Child
Do you seek me?
     I'm still here!
Look for me in nature,
for my love is growing there.
My messages are written,
in earth and sea and air.

     Do you hear me?
Listen to the song birds,
as each new day is born.
Can't...

Premium Member Am I Losing a Son
My world's gone wobbly
   Hands clammy, knees weak
Stomach churning, eyes watery
   Thoughts swirling, face tear-streaked

Is he really leaving ? Am I losing a son?
   I know where he's going -- to Israel
He'll be in good hands; I agreed to...

Losing a Game
When you lose a big, important game,
you feel like the world has turned on you,
like it is your fault,
you feel down,
and wonder why this had to happen,
were you ready?

Instead of thinking about what you did wrong,
and focusing on that it was your fault,
think about what...

Losing a Child
I remembered that very hot humid day.
I forgot the sun shining down on the grave.

I remembered a howling and a scream.
I forgot the scream was coming from me.

I remembered holding in my arms a soft little bundle.
I forgot a lifeless body laid inside in a...

Loving and Losing : a Part of Me Died When You Died
Losing someone is like losing the very breath u take to survive

Like holding in air, taking the deadliest,deepest dive

Like someone knocked all the air,better yet, the life out of ur life

Like they jabbed u in ur heart with the sharpest knife

The emptiness inside ur soul,makes...

Premium Member Losing a Friend
Losing a friend is truly the worst 
that’s happened to me yet,
especially when I see your face
and voice filled with regret. 
A face I hoped to see each day,
always in your smiling way.
A voice I’d know in any crowd,
no matter be it soft or loud.

I...

Hear me, beseeching you!
     Do not be cold, nor say adieu?
     Speak thee not, our days of walking in God's sun are through.
     Your hand, holding mine, so warm and true.

Losing a High School Friend
I woke up and couldn't sleep because I have so much on my mind with a lot of things, waking up after midnight is hard because I have you on my mind, so now I feel like I've been betrayed because you dont understand me...

Losing a Friend
As I am awakened by the dazzling rays of the star we call the sun,
 I am appalled by that peculiar notion,
 because as I peek out my blinds the day is so dull,
 thunder rolling ever so treacherous,
howling like the night time winds, 
the...

On Losing a Friend
As everything has a start, also has an end
Time alters and changes, this is how things go
So I’m not blaming it on you, my friend 
All I can do is curse time and woe

Your turn has come to change and forget
Our friendship and the time...

Losing a Loved One
Never lost a loved one before 
They tell you to move on
When they don't even know your pain
Emptiness is what I have inside
Why must this happen to me
I can't live like this
But I chose not to give up 

Without my loved one
Without my soul mate
The...

Premium Member Losing a Piece of Myself
Though not really that old, living piece of my face cut away,
Tissue sacrificed hoping that Basil cell cancer is cleared
Never much for the beach scene, a tan has just lost its appeal
And those chemical skin dyeing tan shops now seem better deal.

You remember the real...

Premium Member The Grief of Losing a Child
I weep for days, weeks, or longer.
Tears flow quickly anyway, and the sob clinger.
Crying proceeds when tears cease.
I have been feeling my squat angel for weeks.

I clutch sacred trust to hope against my will.
I'm keen on detecting her tone and feeling her quill.
People's memories are starting...

Losing a Best Friend
Once there was a disk named DVD
She had a best friend and her name was TV
They did everything together until one day
The manufacturers didn’t like the way she played
They brought in a disk with a better picture
DVD fought the great urge to hit her
TV and...
