      AT A LOSS      


      what is life      
what is love      
       what is truth      
anymore      
       the faded colors      
of one      
       rare love  that      
i once shared      
       still missing now      
still longing so      
       still grieving here      
for what much    
       too briefly was      
for seven      
       bright months      
perhaps      
       the greatest joy      
my life has      
       ever known      
its not just      
       the sad  sad      
loss  of such      
       a deep  deep      
love  i mourn      
       here now      
but rather      
       the even      
greater loss      
       of that unique      
rare friend      
       which you      
once were      
       that even      
here today      
       i miss and      
still cant seem      
       to quite forget      
no matter      
       how hard      
i try  that      
       i profoundly      
still regret      
       and continue      
to suffer      
       here yet      
so hard to      
       let go  to      
move on beyond  
       our now deleted  
once hallowed  
       past      
all hollowed out      
       sunken within    
its broken hearts     
       still deep  open      
gaping wound      
       stuck here now      
in all this      
       vacant emptiness      
left by the      
       sudden shock      
and devastating      
       blow  of such      
a hard boned      
       loss  from whence      
this heavy  still      
       lingering sadness      
has oh so      
       coldly come      
now  here later      
       nine months on      
some aspects      
       of its bitter      
bone deep wound      
       have still not      
fully healed      
       nor left me      
here  as yet            
       even though      
i pray and      
       trust  that one      
day  some day      
       sooner or later      
hopefully sooner      
       but even sooner      
wont be nearly      
       soon enough      
when they
       will cease      
all together      
       to taunt
nor haunt me      
       any further
as their faded      
       memories  will
at long last      
       finally  quickly      
and quietly          
       all completely
simply just      
       dissolve away
and come
       to me
no more
       at all
