Tragic Loss

Brakes squeal

Metal smashes

Glass shatters

Hearts breaking

Bodies shaking

Dreams destroyed

Pain rips through me

As I fly through the air

All things leave me

Eternal sleep is what I do

Weep many not

Brief sadness only

Nevermore is love

Not even missed

Forever more I salk

Spirit weeping

All alone I am now

Replaced by another I am

Ment nothing to many

Trash thrown out

No ones treasure

No one soulmate

One weeps in pain

Sitting on the ground crying

I wipe tears away

My presents felt

Smile on ones face appears

My spirit clings to this one

Lost and confused am I

What happen?

Why am I here?

Questions fill the air

Bandages cover him

A light shines but I ignore

Pain stricken is he

A name that is not mine

A man that is hurt

Memories all gone

Days go by

He still weeps

Still broken and crushed

I attempt to comfort

Healing of wounds

I can no longer

He feels but cannot see

Eyes shut peacfully

Terror attacks in dreams

A loss no one senses

A pain he wont express

Comfort he wont seek

External wounds heal Internally never to be fixed

A ring he grasps tightly each and every night

My picture underneath his pillow

A face that cannot be replaced

A mask to cover up his pain

A face to hide his sorrow No smile to brighten his face

Death of me haunts him daily

Scatter brained at the sound of my name

Tears flood his eyes with memories

I speak softly but he no hear

I hold tightly with every tear

His love truer than true

Deeper than most express for many

A bed half empty

Death is his only escape

Slowly I lift his spirit to be with mine

Our love continue even after death

Love stronger than life its self

Love the greatest feeling that we share

Two names share a stone

Two souls at rest
