Grief In Stages

And in your death my soul is tethered
A presence yet unsevered
Tragic loss not well weathered
Empty in your absence

Unspeakable resurgence
And implausible resilience
Suffering in silence
As none can console

Not within control
An altering of the soul
Never again to be whole
And not meant to be

Of this I will agree
Although did not foresee
The depth of change in me
Expected not the gain

That which was my bane
Affords comfort in the pain
As it assures me you remain
And in your death my soul is tethered
