Loss
after loss
there is no replacing
there is a forever void
where they were
no one's hand will ever fit the same
the timber of their voice
an almost inaudible echo
seems so wrong
when one has touched you
in the most profound ways
our mental ability
to hold on
gets blurry too soon
(like that of a newborn
you hold and carry them
until they can walk
memory of their
smallness escapes
before we have time to
acknowledge it)

I was moved and drawn in, but when I reached the end, the bottom fell out for me and it really hit home. Your gentle candor is so endearing, vulnerability of the write is heart rending. I feel you. 💖

Some things in life cannot be fixed, they can only be carried.

It's the impermanence of it all that is at the heart of the human condition...love wrapped in a conundrum. Poignant and beautiful ink J.
