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
