Orphan
i.
Essence departed
an orphan I have become
grief-filled emotion
alone, I have come undone
… in passing of your spirit
ii.
Anguish shall not fade
vulnerable in your death
memories survive
yet in shadows, I’m bereft
… in my sleep, there is no rest

Bless your heart, Mel. Let it all out. That's what Poetry is for, though 31 syllables is rarely enough.

Thank you JB. Many tears and and much sadness but yes writing has always been a means to help me process my grief. I am grateful for the outlet. It must come out to move through. Otherwise the pain becomes stagnate and consuming. Bless you JB for your support. x

I like it. We all become orphans, I guess it's just when. So few words and so much said.
Nice write
